It can be related with the Apple Car (Project Titan), or not, but the truth is that this latest patent of Apple may leave us a little fly behind the ear. Last the guys at Cupertino intends us to use the iPhone as a car key. There are many models that are going to the NFC technology to open and start their vehicles, for example Renault Megane has this technology from the second edition of its range, in the same way, most of the new Toyota models have a system of opening and start-up without the need for keys.
Use the iPhone or Apple Watch to open our car could become a reality very soon. It is not something that innovate at all in the world of vehicles, however, what if he would have much depth is the possibility of doing so universal for all brands and vehicles. In addition, this patent, contemplates the possibility of creating ” temporarykeys ” to give other users the possibility to open and start our vehicle with our permission, to the mode of use and throw away, because this key will expire soon and may not be used.
It is a possibility that would enable us to lend to a friend our car without the need to provide you with a copy of the keys originals, thus avoiding possible loss or misplacement. We already know that Apple patents does not always come true, but for example, Tesla Motors is a company that adds any type of technology and electronic progress, however small, that is, to its range of vehicles, so it would not surprise us at all see this configuration soon in models such as the Tesla Model 3. Meanwhile, we are still awaiting Apple Car to become reality.
