BMW: Zees is smart key und credit card!
BMW is working with NXP to develop a car key that also doubles as your credit card.
The project is still in development, but if successful, the system will combine a high-tech microchip system within a vehicle's key, resulting in a secure contactless payment system and key in one package. You could then use it to pay for anything from parking, to groceries and clothing.
Prof. Raymond Freymann, managing director of BMW Group Research and Technology, had this to say: "In cooperation with NXP we are doing research in enhancing the capabilities of the car key into one smart device for access, payment, and services that will simplify the lives of BMW car drivers in future."
The concept sounds great, but we can't help but imagine the inconvenience one would have to endure should the key get lost or stolen.
