Virtual Car Keys Will Arrive By 2018 — For People Who Forget Keys
The digital and physical key will exist for the next decade or so, adding that ‘both will be the property of the car owner.
Continental,
an
automotive
industry
supplier
is
making
a
smartphone-based
digital
key
that
can
be
used
to
unlock
and
start
a
vehicle.
Most
of
the
premium
cars
have
smart
keys
and
this
options,
but
the
new
digital
key
is
next-gen.
The company has already made deals with several corporate customers to install adapters into their vehicles. This will allow them to send a digital key to an app that works with Bluetooth and can be later deleted after it is used. This technology will be a great relief for both fleet managers and rental car agencies.
An unidentified new model will feature this technology as a built-in, original equipment. Like we said, many manufacturers offer apps that allow owners to remotely unlock the car and start the engine, but still, they require a physical key to be present to actually drive away.
Mike Crane, Continental's North American vice president of body and security, predicts that both the digital and physical key will exist for the next decade or so, adding that ‘both will be the property of the car owner."
