They already do. Digital Key is only included for the first 4 years, afterwards it is $20/year.

Really interesting info. The next gen of the phone-key combination is a low power (works if primary phone battery dies) solution that fundamentally works like a fob would.
Will be interesting to see how this develops. I won't be interested until later stages. This current implementation requires your phone to be very close to the door handle unlike Comfort Access which allows your key to be in your pocket.
