This will not only be very useful to reduce the number of devices and objects in our daily lives, but, in case of emergency, we can also send this permission to another user so that they can move our Tesla in case of emergency or need, for example. which, remotely, we would have control over it.
Opening a Tesla with Apple Watch will be possible
A few days ago we were talking about how the person responsible for Apple Pay was working to 30 vehicle brands have Apple CarKey available, which will allow you to open any car with your iPhone, however, just as it could be done with a phone, we also want to be able to do it with the Apple Watch, since it would offer us double the security in case of loss or end of life. battery of some of them.
Today there are ways to open your Tesla with these devices, however, most apps are from third parties, unofficial, so security, updates and compatibility could be a problem, and therefore, it is the company itself who wants to launch one.
The truth is that it can be something very interesting, and that possibly in several years we will see it as something normal. At the beginning, everyone used a key, today, in addition to Apple CarKey already existing, there have also been models for more than a decade that open when you approach and start the vehicle itself. via NFC or Bluetoothonly having a card or phone nearby, so it is not something that seems so impressive to us, but they do want to adapt it quickly, and more so to 30 vehicle brands, even though it is Tesla who wants to arrive first.
For now, no dates are estimated, although given the existence of third-party apps and the technology created, it should not take long. It is true that if they remove it they will have to do it professionally, with all the safety measures and tests, but that should not exceed a year, so we are clear that in 2025, possibly by summer, we can already open our Tesla by approaching it with the Apple Watch. Of course, unlocked, as it will work like Apple Pay, and even if it is stolen, they will not be able to use it without the PIN code.
And you, what do you expect from all this? Do you think that so much technology could be a security problem, preferring the usual key? The fact of being able to give permissions to a watch and not pay hundreds of euros for a duplicate if we lose the keys is something that I, personally, love, although we will have to see how everything is implemented, and if other car companies apply it. also coming soon, as well as non-Apple operating systems and watches.
