Big brands are working on a standard for the downloadable digital car-key


This photo taken on October 24, 2017 shows motorists enterint the central business district in Singapore. In the battle against the car, space-starved Singapore has deployed congestion charges, massive spending on public transport, and a licence fee that bumps the cost of an average vehicle to over 80,000 USD. But urban planners looking for solutions to gridlock may find the draconian measures hard to replicate in other less-compliant cities. / AFP PHOTO / ROSLAN RAHMAN / TO GO WITH World-automobile-environment-lifestyle-Singapore,FEATURE by Martin Abbugao

It may not be long before physical car keys are a thing of the past, replaced by tech on our mobile devices, however with these new Digital Keys comes great responsibility, which is why big brands are working together in a Car Connectivity Consortium to develop a standardized solution. 

Considering technology is always finding ways to lighten our pockets and purses of bank or fidelity cards, it's no surprise that car keys could be the next to go.
