Facing the facts around privacy
Facial recognition software (FRS) is a form
of biometric security. It is used to
determine people's identity using their
faces from photos, videos, or even in real
time. Simply, FRS detects a face, analyzes
it, converts it to data, and then matches it
with images in a database.
That's how BRITTANY EASTMAN, JD,
sees the situation in her recently released
SAE EDGE Research Report, Legal Issues
Facing Automated Vehicles, Facial
Recognition, and Privacy Rights.
" This technology is currently being
used in vehicles for safety and
convenience features, such as detecting
driver fatigue, ensuring rideshare drivers
are wearing a face covering, or unlocking
the vehicle handsfree, " she says in the
report's introduction. " Public
transportation hubs can also use FRS to
identify missing persons, intercept
domestic terrorism, deter theft, and
achieve other security initiatives. Around
the world, FRS is even being used on
public transportation for payment
methods. However, biometric data is
sensitive and there are numerous
remaining questions about how to

benefits of using FRS in public and
private transportation technology and
addresses some of the legitimate
concerns regarding its use by private
corporations and government entities,
including law enforcement, and in public
transportation hubs and traffic stops.
Constitutional questions, including First,
Fourth, and Ninth Amendment issues,
also remain unanswered. However, these
questions do not mean FRS cannot or
should not be meaningfully implemented
into transportation technology. Rather
