It has been confirmed from the application information of the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that Tesla may also support next-generation vehicles for the UWB-compatible Apple Car Key, which BMW is currently actively supporting.
Will it support UWB-compatible Apple Car Key following BMW?
The document filed with the FCC suggests that Tesla vehicles will be equipped with digital keys that support ultra-wideband (UWB) in next-generation vehicles.
From the application information, it is shown that the Tesla car may also adopt the next-generation vehicle of the company that BMW has adopted as “BMW Digital Key Plus (UWB compatible Apple Car Key)”.
According to iMore, Hyundai, which is rumored to be collaborating in the manufacture of Apple Cars, will also launch a vehicle that supports UWB at the end of 2021.
Adopted for Tesla Roadster
Tesla is rumored to have completed a prototype of the new Roadster around the summer of 2021 and will start production in 2022.
