Worse would be having to constantly be bombarded to enter your apple ID and password to unlock your doors or start your car...

I don’t think biometrics are as awesome as people think. Fingerprint scanners get dirty, retina scanners involve you holding still while a bright light shines in your eye, voices actually change fairly dramatically so you can’t really print that. RFID’s and fobs seem to be handling things well.

Agree but it would be nice to have one device that works for all 4 cars.

I don’t really seem to be in the target audience for this. I like mechanical watches.

That queer can take his watch and stick it where the sun don’t shine!

Or hearing this from Siri when attempting to unlock your own doors:

“I’m sorry Dave, but I can’t do that”

Jokes aside, I'd be quite pleased to replace the remote key fob for my Leaf with an 🍎Watch app. Just one less thing to carry around.

So you'll have to give the watch to the valet?

Back when I was a kid and watching Dick Tracy, I thought that was the coolest thing ever.

Me too, but now that they're finally here, I find myself disinterested.

I've already got way too much high tech gadgetry in my life, and don't need some bloody wristwatch that a hacker can use to rob me blind.

Why would I let a stranger drive my car?
