1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a computer associated with a transport, a gait of an individual from at least one sensor associated with the transport;
validating, by the computer, the gait when the gait has corresponding frequency occurrence statistics above a predetermined gait threshold;
responsive to the validating, providing, by the computer, access to the transport by the individual;
receiving, by the computer, a sequence of gestures of the individual from at the at least one sensor, wherein the sequence of gestures corresponds to a function;
validating, by the computer, the sequence of gestures; and
responsive to the validating, performing, by the computer, the function responsive to the sequence of gestures being recognized as a known match with a pattern stored in memory.
