Zipcar have invented a brand new way to unlock the car. Could this unique idea work well for them in bringing them in more customers. This company have actually used the fact that the iPhone has become popular to invent a new way of renting their cars.
Just over four hundred have their cars can now be unlocked by using an iPhone. This brand new idea has actually got the technology to tell which iPhone is its current master so it will not unlock for any old phone. There is a small system placed inside the car that you swipe the key card on as well as being used to pick up the phone signal itself. When you step inside the car for the very first time you must swipe a security card to make sure that no one else’s phone can unlock the car.
This really does sound like something James Bond would have rather than a normal person. Of course you are not going to be able to do this with used cars for sale yet because this is happening only at Zipcar. However the day is sure to arrive where everyone is unlocking their new cars in this way. Perhaps in the future when you go to buy an Audi or perhaps when you buy a Nissan
Surely we can only start to see more in the way of the car and the iPhone mixing together? Of course one day it could go one Bond step too far and end up having long range missiles that you can control from your house. Of course technology itself is ever changing and it is almost certain to say that we can hope to see a lot more of these types of inventions.
