0 Comments At its 2021 I/O developer conference held yesterday, Google announced its new offering called ‘Digital Car Key’. With the upcoming release of Android 12, Google will offer you the ability to lock, unlock and start your car via your phone. Works using NFC and Ultra Wide Band technology Can also share your Digital Key with a friend While Google did not elaborate exactly how the feature works, it did say that it uses Near Field Communication (NFC) and Ultra Wide Band (UWB) radio technology, thus it’s likely to function with the phone in your pocket or by tapping the door handle with it. Also, should you need to lend your car to a friend, Google says you will be able to “remotely and securely” share your digital car key with them.
