Apple's newest iPhone feature aims to replace car key

AKIPRESS.COM - Apple wants the iPhone to replace your car keys. On Monday, the tech company announced at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, a new feature that uses the smartphone to unlock and start a car, CNN reports. While Apple's years-long ambition to build its own vehicle hasn't materialized, its CarPlay infotainment system is available in 97% of new cars, according to the company.
And it thinks that the humble car key, which on new cars can take the shape of your vehicle, or even feature a screen of its own, can still be improved further.
