Toyota Outfits 2022 Land Cruiser With Biometric Ignition

August 5, 2021

Toyota has released some more details regarding its upcoming Toyota Land Cruiser model that reveals the vehicle will come equipped with biometric authentication by way of a fingerprint sensor.

The new 2022 300-Series model isn’t expected to be released to the American market, but a recent report from AutoBlog notes that the tech featured in the Land Cruiser is likely to be found in the company’s Lexus LX version, which will see a U.S. release.

The aforementioned fingerprint sensor — which will be the first of its kind for Toyota — will be housed in the Land Cruiser’s keyless start ignition button. Additional tech on board will come in the form of a 9″ infotainment screen in the standard model, while the GR Sport edition will feature a larger 12.3″ version.

Cameras located beneath the body of the vehicle also allow its on-board system to display an underbody view to offer an all-around vehicle display for drivers.

Though this is the first time the Japanese car maker is bringing biometric ignition into one of its vehicles, the Tokyo-based company has not shied away from putting cutting-edge tech in its cars in previous years.

2017 saw Toyota set a record for data download speeds in a moving vehicle when one of its models was able to stream 4k video with downlink and uplink speeds of 1Gbps and 600 Mbps respectively, while traveling at a speed of 30 km/h.

More recently, in 2019 the company launched an LQ concept car featuring its own AI-driven assistant, nicknamed ‘Yui’. An AI assistant, Yui was designed to read the driver’s biometric signs and use that data to deliver a personalized driving experience.
