BMW AG is evaluating the potential for eliminating traditional car keys for future vehicles.
"We are looking at whether it is feasible, and whether we can do it,” BMW board member tells Reuters. He notes that many vehicles already have push-button ignitions and smartphone apps that allow users to remotely lock and unlock their doors.
Robertson didn’t provide a timeline for making a decision or commercializing the technology. Volvo Car Corp. demonstrated a keyless Bluetooth-enabled app last year.
