Goodbye car keys, hello phone – Volvo

For decades, drivers have been accustomed to accessing and driving cars with physical keys. However, in a break from tradition, and in keeping with a rapidly digitising world, Volvo Cars aims to become the world’s first car manufacturer to offer vehicles without keys, as from 2017. Instead, Volvo customers will be provided with an application (app) on their mobile phones, replacing the physical key with a digital one.
