Your Android smartphone will soon be able to unlock and start your car via a digital key. The announcement was made at Google’s I/O event, and will see the latest version of the operating system, Android 12, have the ability to replace the standard key in compatible vehicles.
To begin with, some 2021 models from BMW will include the tech with other auto manufacturers set to follow suit. This technology may be set to revolutionize vehicle accessibility, pushing the smartphone one step closer to being the only piece of equipment needed.
The digital key works in two ways. For times when you don’t want to undergo the hardship of taking your phone out of your pocket, owners can instead lock and unlock their cars without so much at looking at a screen. This method utilizes Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology. According to
