First we had hand cranks. Then real keys, followed by key fobs. And now we have "digital keys," which enables you to lock, unlock, and start your car from your phone.
The need for global standards and solutions for smartphone and in-vehicle connectivity is what's spurring the industry to come together to formulate a plan for the future.
Recently, two industry consortiums joined forces to create a working group with the mission to create standards around digital keys: the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC), which includes most major car companies, as well as Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi; and FiRa Consortium, a nonprofit that supports ultra wideband and includes Apple, Google, Cisco, Samsung, Qualcomm, and others as members.
