LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- LVCC, CENTRAL
HALL, BOOTH 13517 – Today at CES® 2020, EyeLock LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International (NASDAQ:
VOXX), in collaboration with SiriusXM (NASDAQ:
SIRI), announced that it is demonstrating a prototype of a
highly secure, iris biometric touchless gateway to the multiple
services that the SiriusXM e-Wallet plans to offer.
SiriusXM plans to offer the e-Wallet to automakers who deploy
SiriusXM's connected vehicle services, which serves multiple major
automotive brands.
Using EyeLock's proprietary iris biometric authentication
technology as the secure access, the SiriusXM e-Wallet is being
designed to integrate into the vehicle and will allow drivers and
their passengers to make purchases for everyday needs while
on-the-go: shop and pay for coffee, find and pre-pay for gas,
locate and pay for parking, purchase movie tickets, seamlessly pay
tolls, and more. CES attendees and invited guests can see how the
EyeLock prototype will activate and authenticate a payment through
voice and touchscreen commands and eliminate driver distractions
during the transaction.
EyeLock's custom-designed, visor-mounted prototype will grant an
enrolled driver secure access to the e-Wallet, with passenger
authentication taking place in under one second. SiriusXM will
demonstrate the EyeLock prototype on two different vehicle models
at the show.
"We are thrilled to team with SiriusXM to deliver highly secure
biometric solutions in the automotive marketplace. SiriusXM's
network of automotive manufacturers and established consumer
interfaces, combined with our security expertise, will help keep
drivers safe and secure with the highest form of biometric
authentication," said Jeff Carter,
CEO of EyeLock.
In order to implement these services, SiriusXM intends to
establish virtual payment relationships with a wide-ranging network
of retailers and expects to provide advanced authentication
capabilities for greater security. This current suite of services
is expected to be showcased to automobile manufacturers in
2020.
