Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for configuring a driving apparatus comprising one or more customizable components, the method comprising: storing component configuration information for users of the driving apparatus, wherein the component configuration information including first component configuration information indicating configurations of a first set of customizable components; receiving, from a biometric capturing device, first biometric information regarding a first user of the driving apparatus and first indicating information indicating a first duration for which the first user provided biometric information through the biometric capturing device; determining the first duration is less than a threshold duration; in response to determining the first duration is less than a first threshold duration, retrieving the first component configuration information based on the first biometric information regarding the first user; receiving, from the biometric capturing device, second biometric information regarding a second user of the driving apparatus and second indicating information indicating a second duration for which the second user provided biometric information through the biometric capturing device, wherein the second user is distinct and separate from the first user; determining the second duration is longer than the threshold duration; in response to determining the second duration is longer than the threshold duration, obtaining, from the second user, at least one configuration change for the first set of customizable components; and in response to obtaining the at least one configuration change for the first set of customizable components, updating the configurations of the first set of customizable components with the at least one configuration change.
