Abstract
A method and system for authenticating a user of a vehicle are described. In one embodiment, a user profile is associated with a user of a vehicle. The user profile is used to compare a sample of the voice of the user with a database onboard the vehicle as well as a database stored on a network connected server in communication with the vehicle. A user profile may be associated with a number of vehicles. Users may have a number of levels of permissions associated with a number of different vehicles. A user may be enabled to access a number of vehicle features by providing a voice sample via microphones in and around the vehicle. A voiceprint associated with the user may be improved based upon audio collected by microphones in and around the vehicle.
