Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle entry system which identifies authorized users via facial recognition has an image sensor configured to capture real-time images according to a predetermined field of view from a vehicle. A lockout device is configured to selectably provide access to the vehicle. The entry system has a controller configured to (A) analyze a first one of the captured images for matching to a stored facial pattern corresponding to an authorized user of the vehicle, (B) detect a request for a secondary authentication after the captured image being analyzed fails to match the stored facial pattern, (C) analyze a second one of the captured images for a nonbiometric secondary code entrusted to a secondary user; and (D) issue a command for the lockout device to grant the access to the vehicle when the secondary code is detected.
