Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an automobile including a processor and a sensing apparatus, and the sensing apparatus is installed on a part that is of the automobile and that may be in contact with a hand of a driver, and includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter sends a sound wave signal to the hand of the driver, and the receiver receives a reflected sound wave signal reflected by the hand of the driver, converts the reflected sound wave signal to an electrical signal, and sends the electrical signal to the processor. The processor analyzes the electrical signal to obtain a feature of the reflected sound wave signal, and recognizes an identity of the driver based on the feature of the reflected sound wave signal.
