Digital car keys? Just see what Samsung is planning for its phones
Samsung is seeking to apply its digital technology to all areas of human activity where it may be suitable. The latest news is that the South Korean technology group is seeking to enter the automotive industry through its smartphone. Whether it is interested in creating a Tesla similar to an electric car is unclear, but it will definitely consider introducing digital car keys into its smartphones. Just to refresh the memory, Samsung announced plans to introduce digital car key technology to its mobile phones during the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S21. Now, just a few weeks later, Samsung has finally begun to add support for this feature.
Samsung said that support for ultra-wideband (UWB) and NFC-enabled digital car keys will be available in South Korea first, and can only be activated with one car, the all-electric Genesis GV60.
On devices that support UWB, such as Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus and Ultra, Note 20 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Fold 2 and 3, Samsung promises “passive entry”, which means you can unlock and lock the car without unplugging your phone or pockets. Samsung is now using UWB and NFC for its mobile phones, digital car keys, and its two main functions for finding items using its Galaxy SmartTag announced in January. This puts it in parallel with Apple, which introduced a digital car key supported by the U1 chip and iOS 14. With your mobile phone nearby, you can also start the car and adjust the rearview mirror, seat, etc. The digital key will be stored in the Samsung pass and protected by an “embedded secure element (eSE)”, which, according to Samsung, can be shared with anyone running Android 11 and downloading its application. This is equivalent to using a car in a region now, but Samsung has established partnerships with Audi, BMW and Ford. Hope these automakers can increase their support as soon as possible, because Genesis has broken the seal. In addition, because Samsung supports NFC buttons, older Galaxy phones running Android 11 should be able to have fun with it.
