Audi A8, new technology?

I was watching automotor und sport tv, this evening, and they did a comparo between the BMW 745il, MB S500, and New audi A8. the new A8 has an engine start button, that can be programmed to recognise your fingerprint!!!!! once programmed, only driver #1, and 2 will be able to start the car, and it has to first scan your finger print!! I'm thinking this new technology would make it really hard to steal the car in the US? As for performance, the new A8, out accelerated, and out handled the other cars, due to its all wheel drive system!

drive in a 745 and you will see bmw is the king . i still think that s500 has the nicest seats, but the 7 has butt massagers and crazy heaters on the seats . i was really impressed with the 7 series' backup sensers which not only tell you of nearing objects, but shows you on the little lcd with good accuracy
