Your phone just turned into a car key.
At the Google I/O virtual event Tuesday,大宮 東口 映画館跡 ポルノ映画 the company announced a digital car key as part of Android 12. The digital car keys will lock, unlock, and start the car from select Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones.

Apple announced the same phone-as-a-car-key feature last year — also for new BMW vehicles.
Like Apple's Car Key, the digital key is easier to share than physical keys. You can let someone borrow "the keys" through their phone.

That means you can ditch the USB cable to connect your Android to the car. Google named General Motors, Ford, and Honda as some of the big car brands switching to a wireless connection.
Apple CarPlay, the Android Auto equivalent, only works wirelessly on a select number of generally expensive vehicles. For most car connections you need to plug in the phone.
The Google interface will be front and center for the new GMC Hummer EV supertruck and in the BMW iX. The electric Hummer will have Google Assistant built in and the electric BMW will feature Google Maps on the screen behind the steering wheel.
