Abstract
Systems and methods for multi-step vehicle entry authorization utilizing biometric data are disclosed. A proximity/contact sensor attached to a vehicle receives a device ID from a wearable device of a user. A biometric sensor receives biometric data of the user. A control module accesses a user database storing authorized user information and determines whether the user is authorized for the vehicle based on the device ID, the biometric data, and the user database. The control module unlocks the vehicle in response to a determination that the user is authorized for the vehicle.
