You're reading constraints into the experiment that don't appear to exist. My take is that after 15 minutes of driving the algorithm could correctly identify which driver was behind the wheel. That means: I get in, start driving, and within 15 minutes or so, the system analyzing the car's internal network will, with 90% specificity, say, "The driver was 'rosser."
I don't see where you're coming up with only 15 minutes total driving. That isn't implied anywhere in The Fine Article. But even leaving that detail aside, it would actually be more impressive than the reported finding if they were correctly identifying people that well after only 15 minutes total!
