Not in the segment that Apple showed. They demoed the version shipping today and they also showed at the end what they plan to start shipping next year. This aligns with everything that has already been shared regarding the standard v2 and v3.

V2 uses NFC and needs the phone next to the car door.

V3 uses NFC and WiFi (or BT) to add proximity to allow you to keep the phone in your pocket.

V3 coming next year (and who knows when to BMW) will be able to fully replace the fob and be more like Tesla.
