Mobility & Authorized Driver Verification
FaceTec's face authentication has been deployed by carsharing and vehicle-access providers to confirm that only authorised drivers can unlock and operate a vehicle.
The challenge
Shared-vehicle and fleet operators need a fast, reliable way to confirm that the person requesting access to a vehicle through a mobile app is the authorised account holder, rather than someone using a shared or stolen login. This check needs to work reliably across a wide range of consumer devices and in everyday outdoor conditions, without adding noticeable friction to the unlock experience.
FaceTec's technology has been used in this context to replace or supplement PIN- and password-based access with a face-based check performed directly on the user's own device before a vehicle is unlocked.
Practical applications
Authorised driver verification at vehicle unlock
Confirms the person requesting to unlock a shared vehicle matches the enrolled account holder's FaceMap before access is granted, reducing the risk of unauthorised use of a shared account or device.
Universal mobile device support
Runs across a broad range of consumer smart devices, allowing carsharing and fleet operators to support authentication without requiring dedicated hardware at the vehicle itself.
Fast, low-friction unlock experience
Performs the liveness and match check quickly enough to fit within a typical vehicle-unlock flow, keeping the authentication step from becoming a barrier to everyday use.
Core capabilities
Mobile-device face authentication
Verifies drivers directly through their own smartphone or tablet.
Fast liveness and match processing
Completes the check quickly enough for a vehicle-unlock use case.
IT-friendly deployment
Integrates into existing mobile apps without requiring new vehicle-side hardware.
Unlocking a shared vehicle through a mobile app
A carsharing customer opens the operator's app to unlock a nearby vehicle. Before the door unlocks, the app prompts a quick 3D FaceScan, which is matched against the FaceMap captured when the customer registered for the service. Once the match is confirmed, the vehicle unlocks, giving the operator confidence that the person taking the car is the authorised account holder rather than someone else using a shared login, without adding a noticeable delay to the unlock process.

How CyberLane helps
CyberLane helps mobility and fleet operators assess where face-based driver verification fits within their existing app and vehicle-access architecture, and how to balance authentication speed against assurance level for everyday use.
- Mobile app authentication flow assessment
- Vendor and technology comparison for driver verification
- Unlock-flow user experience review
- Deployment and rollout planning
CyberLane is independent and works on the decision rather than the deployment. Product-specific delivery is coordinated with the vendor or a qualified implementation partner.
Official vendor sources
FaceTec does not publish a conventional use-case catalogue. These applications have been compiled independently by CyberLane from FaceTec's official product pages, technical documentation and published case studies, and are written in CyberLane's own words rather than reproduced from vendor material.
