Automotive Keyless Entry Systems Industry Developments

September 2023: Autonomy, the largest electric vehicle subscription company in the United States, and EV Mobility, LLC, the leading all-electric vehicle car-sharing platform, have announced that they have entered into an agreement. The agreement stipulates that Autonomy will acquire the technology, assets, and customer accounts of EV Mobility once certain conditions are met. An electric vehicle will be made accessible to everyone who has a valid driver's license, credit card, and smartphone as a result of the acquisition, which will speed up the process of providing flexible access to an electric vehicle (on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis across a wider market.

A tight alignment can be seen between the product roadmap of Autonomy and the main technology developments of EV Mobility. These technologies include keyless remote activation of accounts and hourly billing. The time, money, and danger associated with joining the car-sharing industry are all reduced thanks to the introduction of EV Mobility, which is an instant advantage to Autonomy.

Over the course of the last thirteen months, Autonomy has been supplying EV Mobility with an ever-expanding fleet of cars. As stated by Scott Painter, the founder and chief executive officer of Autonomy, "We like and understand the business, and this acquisition will allow us to scale quickly while increasing margins - it's really that simple."

EV Mobility is a firm that provides a successful car-sharing service that is based on a business-to-business model. The company collaborates with high-end property owners and luxury hotels to offer their clients flexible access to electric vehicles (hourly or daily). All of the monthly expenses associated with the car, including insurance and charging infrastructure, are covered by the hotel or property owner. The client is responsible for processing all hourly use costs directly inside the EV Mobility app, and EV Mobility and the property owner share the money generated from these fees proportionally.  

January 2021: Audi, BMW, Ford, and Genesis agreed with Samsung to offer technology to let people unlock and start their vehicles without a key; instead, they will be unlocked using smartphones, i.e., through a digital key.​

October 2020: Geotab Inc. introduced a keyless access system for rental firms, car-sharing operators, and pool fleets. The digital key shows an instant resolution for firms looking for a COVID-safe, contactless method to share 'keys' between utilizers.
