AUTOMOBILE

Embodiments of the present invention provide an automobile including a processor (200) and a sensing apparatus (100), and the sensing apparatus (100) 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 (101) and a receiver (102). The transmitter (101) sends a sound wave signal to the hand of the driver, and the receiver (102) 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 (200). The processor (200) 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. The embodiments of the present invention further provide a steering wheel and an identity recognition method.
