DRIVER PROFILING AND IDENTIFICATION

Embodiments are disclosed for an automatic identification of a driver. In one example, an in-vehicle computing system of a vehicle includes a sensor interface communicatively coupled to one or more data collection devices, a processor, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to generate a two-dimensional current driver profile matrix for a current driver of the vehicle, the current driver profile matrix indicating a vehicle operating status in terms of a pair of driving parameters at sampled times during a current vehicle trip, and determine a probability that the current driver is one of a plurality of known drivers by comparing the current driver profile matrix to one or more stored driver profile matrices associated with the plurality of known drivers.
