It is quite unusual for us to covers cars on this site. However, you should find this car, the 2021 Cadillac XT4, pretty interesting, as it has a feature that is usually found in smartphones than in automobiles.
Car manufacturers are always playing with new ways for users to unlock their cars but Cadillac takes things to another level with its 2021 XT4 SUV. Just like several phones including the iPhone X and Mate 30 Pro, the Cadillac SUV supports face unlock. Yes, you read that right.
Cadillac has built cameras into the frame of the driver’s door. There are three cameras in total – 2 infrared cameras and an RGB camera. The carmaker says the system identifies up to 106 different facial features and will unlock the vehicle in 2 seconds.
The Cadillac XT4 can store up to 8 different users, one of which is the administrator that can add and delete users. The face unlock system will also work in the dark which is no surprise since it has infrared cameras. Cadillac is assuring users it will work both indoors and outdoors too.
Don’t want to use face unlock? No problem. The XT4 also has a fingerprint scanner or you can decide to unlock the vehicle with a PIN.
The Face Unlock feature seems to be exclusive to the Chinese model of the vehicle as there is no mention of it on the American page.
