The driver confirms their identity with a government ID and a live face check, with consent captured in the app.
Every unlock is confirmed and logged. The owner sees who, when, and why any attempt was denied.
Two dashboards, one flow. Here is what owners and drivers see.
Screenshots from the working prototype. Names and emails are sample data.
Know the person behind the wheel is the person you approved, without being there.
Reduce leakage from unauthorized drivers across more cars and more handoffs.

For 25 years, Jeff White has led, built, and secured complex IT systems that control who gets access to what, across federal cybersecurity, risk management, and digital transformation. He is also an entrepreneur inside large organizations: at Booz Allen, a Fortune 500 firm, he built and led a criminal justice and law enforcement portfolio that grew into a multi-million-dollar business. His work with law enforcement and national security taught him how far bad actors will go to cheat, lie, and steal. When he rented a car on Turo and realized, four hours into a seven-hour drive, that nobody had checked who was driving, he recognized the same weakness he had spent a career closing. Then he built the fix: VeriDrive.
Tesla today. Other brands are next.
No. VeriDrive verifies the driver and logs each unlock. It does not provide insurance, and the trial is a test, not for commercial rentals.
Drivers give their consent in the app before any ID or face check. During the trial we keep ID and face data for a limited time, then delete it. See the privacy notice for details.
A working prototype exists. A limited early-access trial opens in November, and we are choosing participants from the applications we receive.
