How cars will open in the future #CES2015


KEY FREE



Keyfree actually replaces the traditional key setup with an app that communicates with the car via Bluetooth. As you approach the car, it senses the smart phone and unlocks. The conventional twist ignition is replaced with a “push-to-start button” that requires installation.





The company claims the digital security backing this system is military grade. Users can “share” digital keys with family or friends using the app. The original owner can turn off those shared keys or set restrictions remotely. Users can also track their car when being used by shared drivers—a handy feature for monitoring a teen.



The Keyfree system costs $199, plus the cost of installation. It may also require a bypass of the security system. Keyfree Technologies also suggests that its system of sharing digital keys could make a convenient platform for a car sharing or rental business.
