The NFC technology could be used to unlock the car by waving your phone.
Many of us have seen, how a smartphone can be used as a car key but never been able to use it on practical front. And after a lot of effort, Hyundai has been able utilise NFC (Near field communication) to convert a smartphone into car key.
Rather than using Bluetooth, the system uses wireless Near Field Communication (NFC), allowing you to lock and unlock the car by waving your phone over a small tag on the car window. Hyundai has demonstrated this concept on a Hyundai's popular i30 in Germany, the smartphone integration technology will be available to car buyers in two years, according to a report on carsguide.au.
The system can also store in-car preferences, including radio stations, seating positions and even mirror adjustment - with multiple profiles able to be saved for different drivers. If Hyundai has its way then the thought of attempting to integrate smartphone and car key, will not merely be known for its innovation but could also be used in the near future.
Apart from the NFC-based smartphone key, Hyundai is also looking to utilise the smartphone system on cars to improve reversing cameras and lane departure alert systems with similar technology.
