Unlock with a Smile :-) Experience the world premiere of our seamless Face Authentication solution integrated into a concept vehicle – developed together with trinamiX. Discover also innovations such as the fully automatic charging port and the intelligent door brake.
As part of its ambition to shape the future of mobility with innovative locking and operating systems, WITTE Automotive, a leading automotive supplier for innovative system solutions, enhances its product portfolio with advanced vehicle access features. To achieve this, the company collaborated with trinamiX to develop a keyless B-pillar solution with integrated Face Authentication that combines convenience and increased security. With trinamiX, WITTE Automotive has found the ideal technology partner to bring this vision to life – first showcased in a concept car at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich, Germany.
Biometric Imaging based on trinamiX Beam Profile Analysis
trinamiX Face Authentication solution uses its patented biometric imaging technology known as Beam Profile Analysis, which was integrated into the B-pillar of a concept car developed in collaboration with WITTE Automotive. The solution combines 2D facial recognition with trinamiX's patented liveness check, to enhance security. It does not only verify the visual match with a recognized user but also differentiates between real humans and ultra-realistic masks or deepfakes.
The WITTE system utilizes a combination of different new technologies and sensors and in this case a camera which is embedded in the B-pillar of the concept car. WITTE Automotive designed precisely a complete system of a new experience of comfort and safe door opening. The solution implemented in the concept car eliminates the need for a handle, allowing the door to open automatically as soon as a registered person approaches the vehicle. This creates entirely new design possibilities of future vehicles.
Reinaldo Mensch, Head of Advanced Engineering, WITTE Automotive:
“The collaboration with trinamiX perfectly demonstrates how WITTE combines cutting-edge technology with decades of expertise in automotive access systems. WITTE opens up new spaces by achieving a new level of comfort and security. Our technology offers a unique experience through the seamless integration of Face Authentication into the B-pillar, enabling a new level of opportunities in future vehicle design.”
Wilfried Hermes, Director Consumer Electronics and Automotive NA & Europe, trinamiX GmbH:
“With our Face Authentication solution, trinamiX allows drivers to unlock their cars as quickly and easily as a smartphone. This not only eliminates the need for a key but also ensures that only pre-registered individuals can access the vehicle, offering reliable theft protection. Thanks to our collaboration with WITTE Automotive, we were able to integrate our Face Authentication solution for the B-pillar into a concept car for the first time. Seeing the car door open by itself when approaching as registered user is truly impressive.”
