Polestar has announced a big upgrade for iPhone andApple Watchcustomers that will allow drivers of its Polestar 3 to unlock and drive the vehicle thanks to car keys inAppleWallet.
The companyannouncedthat it was pushing an over-the-air software update to the Polestar 3. Car keys in Apple Wallet support now means that drivers can automatically unlock their cars while leaving their iPhones in their pocket, simply by wearing an Apple Watch.
It's a big benefit that allows seamless, keyless entry to (and exit from) your vehicle. What's more, customers benefit from Apple Wallet's car keys sharing, so you can share keys through Messages, Mail, AirDrop,WhatsApp, and more with up to five other users, tweaking access between just gaining access to the vehicle or driving it as required. You can even use the iPhone Power Reserve feature to unlock and drive the car if your iPhone has run out of battery.
