Zipcar have actually just realeased a brand new way to unlock a car;. is it possible this idea of theirs could bring in a bit of extra cash as I am sure I am not the only one wanting to try this product out,. This company, like many others have actually been keeping their eyes on the market and have realised that the iPhone is very popular so they have come up with a brand new idea for renting one of their cars.
They already have just over 400 of their cars set to be used with this new method of unlocking. The system will recognise that each and every phone is different and can pick up on the unique signal so that at a press of a button (or screen in the case of the iPhone) you can actually unlock the car. There is a small system placed inside the car that you swipe the key card on as well as being used to pick up the phone signal itself. For security reasons when you rent the car and get inside it for the very first time there is a security card that must be swiped so that it will pick you up as the individual user for that car.
This invention sounds like it is coming straight from a famous spy movie than anything else. Of course you are not going to be able to do this with used cars yet because this is happening only at Zipcar. Surely this is actually the next step in unlocking the car and will be used all across the world. Perhaps in the future when you go to buy an Audi or perhaps when you buy a Toyota
Surely we can only start to see more in the way of the car and the iPhone mixing together? Of course the next step would be to actually have it remote controlled just like Bond does in the very same film mentioned before. Technology is leaping forward more and more every single year so expect to see a lot more combinations of the phone and the car.
