Key fobs and emerging virtual, or digital, keys are increasingly making traditional metal car keys obsolete. Tesla was the first to ditch metal keys for its Model 3, followed by a similar move by Lincoln.
"People's phones have basically become a fifth limb now," Brauer said. "I like the idea of a phone-related system. Your phone has a whole lot more value to you and you're going to be much more prone to track it and make sure you don't forget it or lose it."that allows smartphones to be set up as car keys. The system, which was announced last year, uses Bluetooth or the vehicle's onboard Wi-Fi to communicate with the smartphone.
Lincoln, according to Falotico, plans to evaluate its lineup and expand the technology "where it makes sense." Phone as a Key is scheduled to debut this fall on the 2020 Lincoln Aviator and Corsair crossovers and 2020 Lincoln Navigator. Keyless cars also mean automakers and smartphone providers will need to work much more closely to ensure their systems communicate effectively with one another, according to Consumer Reports.
Digital keys combined with updated technology to allow for faster access are expected to assist in overcoming such problems.Keyless cars also better enable emerging vehicle ownership models such as subscription services and shared mobility businesses, including autonomous vehicles.
