A fingerprint unlock on a car? I've never heard of that, is it to unlock the doors?

Probably used for user profiles for the seats and stuff and Aircon. Mercedes does it too

I recently read about 2 or 3 cars doing the whole user your fingerprint to unlock doors and start the car thing. This is one of the reviews I read

It uses your fingerprint to start.
