Novel biometrics advances and major government digital ID programs dominated the top headlines on Biometric Update this week..

The automotive industry is moving quickly now to take away one of the last freedoms most Americans still have: the ability to get in one's own vehicle and drive anywhere one wants, whenever they want to. In an announcement this week, Biometric Update reported that almost all of the major automakers have either recently announced or have already patented facial recognition technologies that will require drivers to supply a scanned image of their faces in order to use their autos in the near future.

The KYC directive is contained in new customer due diligence regulations issued by the country’s Central Bank last month.

Colorado and Connecticut have joined a growing wave of states that have enacted legislation governing the collection, use, and dissemination of biometric data.

Metalenz has formed a partnership with Dilusense to enable ultra-secure facial recognition to be built into smart locks and payment kiosks.
