Zipcar have actually just realeased a brand new way to unlock a car;. Could this unique idea work well for them in bringing them in more customers. They have realised that a lot of people seem to purchasing the iPhone so they have been hard at work implementing this into their new way of renting cars.

With over 400 of their cars already installed with the new product it is only a matter of time before all of their electronic opening cars are fitted with the same piece of technology. It will not unlock for any old phone at all because this new system can tell if it is the current renters iPhone or an old one or even perhaps a thief attempting to be clever. The small system is placed on the inside of the car and it basically used to pick up the signal from the phone. To make sure that another iPhone owner does not run off with your nice rented ride the company hand out key card that must be activated within the cars to make sure your phone is the only one that can unlock it.

Sounds more like a Bond Gadget but believe it or not it exists and can be used by anyone. Of course you are not going to be able to do this with new cars yet because this is happening only at Zipcar. Surely the day will come where this is happening all over the world. Perhaps in the future when you go to buy a new BMW or perhaps when you buy a Nissan

What can be expected next for the iPhone and car? Of course the next step would be to actually have it remote controlled just like Bond does in the very same film mentioned before. 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.
