Is this going to be for everyone? No but it's going to be useful for those who have tech thoroughly embedded within their lifestyle. For everyone else, physical keys will still be used until they're fully gone.

For different reason which I will not explain in here, I am against smart home and all this digitalization of my life. Maybe you don’t but I like my privacy.
I want my keys and my wallet thank you! |
A lot of people are, myself included, but it doesn't mean that other people haven't already equipped their home with smart devices and for those that have, this makes a lot of sense to them. This is not about which method (comfort access vs Digital Key) is easier and quicker to access your car, this is about making your smartphone your one key for all.
