The rivian bluetooth being down is bizarre. Imagine standing in front of your car, and you cant get in because a server 2000 miles away is offline. Why does all this stuff *require* internet access?!
Exactly. I wish car companies - and tech companies in general - would stop "solving" problems that aren't actually problems in the first place 🤬 I was pleased to see with this car, the climate control at least has physical buttons and you have the BMW-style wheel for controlling the screen, because in my car - Seat Leon 2021 - almost everything has to done via the touchscreen which is a complete pain in the butt. Car companies need to focus on making cars safer, more comfortable and improving range on EVs and stop trying to connect every bloody thing to the internet. All I want is a good, reliable car, that runs Android Auto/Car Play, is fun and safe to drive, and has a decent enough range between charges. I appreciate my car - and many others - have emergency call systems, so if you are in a major accident, the car automatically contacts the emergency services and can transmit my location. Excellent stuff, but for everything else my phone can handle all the info and internet stuff. I mean, I actually AM partially crippled in my left leg, but I can manage to press a button on a key fob to unlock and lock my car. That's all I ever want when it comes to accessing my car, unless someone can come up with a system that makes it even harder to steal the car which - seriously - I don't think face recognition and fingerprint recognition (especially when the car needs access to a cloud database) will provide. Just a gimmick that gave the marketing department a boner by the look of it. This doesn't solve a real world problem - it creates new ones ugh !!!
Rivian targets the “adventure” market, so it seems unlikely that they’ve implemented a locking mechanism that means if you drive to somewhere with no cell coverage and leave your car, you will be locked-out of it when you return. But that’s certainly what it sounds like!
I dont trust that technology also that flipping ball that displays gears can malfunction and then what if it doesn't flip around you cant drive the car .
I own this car so a couple of keynotes: The car does come with two normal keys, so that if you don’t like any of the alternative methods, you can use the regular fobs as normal. There are 6 friggin ways to get into and drive the GV60 by default: fobs, wallet NFC card, physical keys, face/finger, UWB phone, and app. You can also set the car to automatically unlock based on both UWB or the key fob on approach, so you don’t ever have to actually press the handle to unlock the car.
Good that they gave actual keys. In India, there is one electric bike that doesn't come with keys. And as you can guess, the software is never 100% reliable. So it's always better to have options.
Glad you mentioned the snow/ice/cold climate issue. My first thought was how much of a pain the face sensor/pop-out door handls would be to deal with in subfreezing conditions
What about those whose box and had a bad 12 rounds? You can look pretty different when the swelling kicks in and your eye closes up. Still a cool feature.
Well it's a good thing the face recognition will be a secondary worry for you in sub-freezing conditions what with the weather also screwing with your batteries so you basically can't drive that heavy vehicle anyway
It would be cool if you gave us visual driving impressions. I'm not expecting a full on automotive journalist type of coverage, but to see the cars you talk about in motion be cool. Even just clips here and there of the vehicle in motion would be nice.
The car comes with two traditional fobs. This video is a bit misleading, since all of this fancy stuff are meant to be in addition of, not in lieu of the traditional keys.
It would be really interesting to see the Volvo EX30 from your perspective! I don't know the relevance of it in the US, but for Europe, this, in my opinion, will be a great example of how to make electric vehicles more accessible. Great video as always btw =)
I've had a GV60 for a year, and the facial recognition has been 100% reliable. The fingerprint reader is less reliable, but I have always gotten it to work after 2 or 3 tries. I would not rely only on biometrics as long as the fob is viable.
Hyundai and Kia Launch Service Campaign to Prevent Theft of Millions of Vehicles Targeted by Social Media Challenge Approximately 3.8 million Hyundais and 4.5 million Kias involved Language: English Share: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Mail February 14, 2023 | Washington, DC Hyundai and Kia have developed theft deterrent software for millions of their vehicles that lack an immobilizer and will provide it FREE of charge to vehicle owners. The software updates the theft alarm software logic to extend the length of the alarm sound from 30 seconds to one minute and requires the key to be in the ignition switch to turn the vehicle on.
Maybe it's, like often in camera usage or face recognition, a matter of your skin color if it works well, so-so or just bad (and that's racism by industry btw)
Indeed. Wikipedia sums it quite well: “The pillars on a car with permanent roof body style are the vertical or nearly vertical supports of its window area or greenhouse-designated respectively as the A, B, C and D-pillar, moving from front to rear, in profile view.”
There's been a situation where a Tesla owner drove off with the wrong car because of their phone key tech. Look it up. I'd take the Genesis tech over that.
@@DarwinChaug yeah and my friend said his friend got into a wrong tesla car (with so many teslas everywhere its bound to happen) and the shocking thing is that wrong tesla that he got into let him in with ease so yeah thats what happens when you try to turn your car into a smartphone.
There is worse - when fingerprint unlock came out back in like 2005 there are confirmed cases where gangs were removing fingers and hands of the owners to take them with them and be able to unlock again (I assumed this was an urban legend but there are news reports of confirmed cases in a bunch of countries). Manufacturers added "liveness" detection so amputated limbs longer work to unlock most cars but apparently gangs still do it to see if it works or just kidnap the owner as part of the robbery...
I've owned a GV60 since January and love it! I don't trust the biometrics exclusively but having either the phone key or my face to get into the car means I have two methods of unlocking without a fob and it's never let me down! I usually don't drive around without my phone anyway.
Some kind of physical key that does not require power or internet or Bluetooth is a must. I have had several occurrences with my tesla where I either left my phone in the house and needed to quickly get into the car, or my phone died after being away from the car all day, or the app (as Marques pointed out) just failed to work. If I didn't have the provided keycard in my wallet I would have been stuck.
I love seeing the 55 thumbs-up responses to this comment... Absolutely stupid and negligent of automakers to not have a stand-alone key to get into a car. This is one place where computerization is really out of place and wrong.
@@cbatiau2528 Tesla gives you a physical key card and if you pay you can also get a actual key. The Bluetooth phone thing is just an extra option. The physical keycard is free and given to you.
I’m a big Genesis/Hyundai/Kia fan. They are making great cars. I had a 2017 Genesis G90 and it was awesome. Have a Palisade now and I love it. Great content, as usual!!
GV70 owner here - the GV60 is a bit small for my needs but the 70 is perfect. Honestly, the best car I’ve ever owned. Excellent quality and performance.
I'm also a big fan. I had a 2019 G70 for the last 5 years, and it was great. Loads of fun, great styling, and rock solid reliable. Plus the Genesis service was fantastic, loved the valet service, and always getting a loaner. I've traded it for an Ioniq 5 which I'm also quite enjoying so far, Hyundai/Kia/Genesis have done a great job in really making their mark on the industry and building desirable, quality vehicles.
6:58 The driver-side passenger seat adjustment is actually quite clever. You might want to adjust the seat for a passenger who might have difficulties using the seat adjustment controls because of unfamiliarity with how they work or because of their location lower down. Other cars should have that, too.
That and you can adjust the seat BEFORE a passenger gets in. Or move the seat forward to find something that fell or rolled off a seat. Or to give a taxi passenger more leg room.

Thanks a lot for starting this channel MB, as someone who knows little about cars, these videos help keep me in the know about cars even though I know I'll never be able to purchase one, and also if say a friend of mine or anyone else is thinking about buying a car I can put in my two cents. I follow this and AutoTrader (UK), both excellent channels.
As a first time buyer looking to get into the EV market, any change of you making a top 3 or top 5 video? I love all your videos and they certainly help form a picture. But i'd love to have a direct list of pros and cons for your top picks. And specifically in my case, cargo space and passenger space (family of 5) Keep up the great work !
I second this. But I think the one big worrying thing right now is just access to a [public] charging network. It's, for me, what's preventing me from wanting to enter but very hesitant. Yeah, there's at-home "slow" charging, but I rather it take an hour over 8+ hours to full.
If you're looking to get into an EV, the best is Tesla. Between the software and reliable charging its a no brainer. Tesla has never had that system is down and you can't get into your car problem. The phone key works everytime. Only time it doesn't work right away is if I have the phone in my back pocket and for some reason the car doesn't detect my phone right away. I take the phone out my pocket and it instantly works. Also you have a Tesla card that is the second option. So you would need to lose your phone and wallet in order for you to be stranded.
@ChipsCST no need to worry about charging from home with an EV. If you travel more than 200 miles everyday, there is nothing to fear. It becomes routine to just plug your car in once you get home. And you're not getting the battery all the way down to empty unless you decide not to plug your car in for a couple of days. Range anxiety and charging are not an issue at this point.
@@Darthmaull0101build quality is absolutely terrible for the price. Only thing good about Tesla is software. If the Germans get their hands on good software it’s over for them.
I can't wait to see your thoughts on the Ioniq 5 N. I think you'll hate the simulated gear shift mode but after hearing why they are doing it (manage temperatures, balancing chassis before a corner, general emotion of an ICE car, etc.) it makes more sense than the typical EV setup
This car is interesting, and the shifter seems like a fun idea. I can appreciate what they're doing to stand out, because it's getting harder to do that it seems.
Huge fan of the channel and content. Wanted to point out one thing I have heard in a couple videos. The pillar directly behind the front seats is the B pillar, not the A pillar. Keep up the great work, can’t wait for the next video!
We had our GV60 Performance since 12/1/2022 (love the car) and use the key fob as the primary method to access the car. The good news is that by just carrying the fob and walking near the driver's door the doors unlock (using the car's proximity sensors) - no button to push. However once inside, the car will ask for confirmation of the driver (driver 1, driver 2 or guest). Drivers 1 or 2 are linked to specific driver setting ( seats, mirrors, radio stations). Currently I have an iPhone X and this Apple model is too old to use as a smart key - will have wait until the fall when a newer Apple phone is purchased. The best part of having facial recognition or the phone smart key, if you have ever loose your keys /fob, you can still drive the car. Redundancy access features are great when needed.
The one thing that the GV60 has above it's more "normal" siblings in the Ioniq5 and EV6 is that the Performance Pack cars have around 100HP more than the other cars (excepting the EV6 GT that has 576HP). So for a time this was the quickest e-GMP car that the Hyundai family offered. It's still a great performer compared to the others if people are looking for that.
I agree I think the lights on the back look great. I also like how much feasibility the windows offer. That’s a major problem with a lot of SUVs especially small and midsize SUVs… Either the rear window is way too small and or the side windows are too small. Overall impressive vehicle.
I like that's it's a bit of 2FA. Face to get in, fingerprint to start. But better yet, it's a backup to the UWB phone key if you lose or break your phone. It's always good to have a backup (as his Rivian experience shows).
Marques, you have tested the Ioniq 5. That one also has the seat adjustment buttons on the side of the front passenger seat and the drawer glove box! Just saying ☺️
I would love if they still have a key fob. Face ID is unreliable, not every phone can be used for the phone key, and if you rock climb like I do your fingers get shredded to the point fingerprint sensors don’t recognize you.
Tbf there's likely an optional key fob you can acquire, similar to Tesla? Should have one included with the car imo, but wouldn't be surprised if it isn't.
@@GabrielRM I think it needs to be because you need to somehow start the car and open it before you even register your face, so imo it has to be some kind of key
@@user-ko9te4jj4u I see, that's good then. Honestly I love seeing such new implementations on cars. Sometimes it really feels like the automobile industry is so far behind in technology that it makes you wonder if tech giants like Google or Apple should take over the tech/infotainment systems of cars..
@@user-ko9te4jj4uif you choose not to use key fob and only use fave or finger id, how does the car immobilise? Normally with keyless start cars if the car is driven a certain distance away from key it will immobilise. So how with just fingerprint and face I'd?
"Just turn off when I get out" A-freakin-men man. If I were deciding between two cars that I liked equally, and one did this... it would be the one I bought. The number of times I've gotten out of my car, which I've owned for 2 years now, just expecting this to happen because it makes SO much sense that it would (no matter how many times I try to remind myself), is ridiculous.
Salute to you for always shouting out people you’re inspired by/other content creators. I noticed it years ago with Doug Demuro and “This” but you do it a lot
I think the face unlock is an amazing second option to use to get in your car; like say you lost your phone and/or key fob, and you would be otherwise stranded, this lets you get in your car. I wouldn’t use it all the time but it’s nice to have
I like that it exists but i would need a manual override/backup. Not only for scenarios like you mentioned where if it's down, but also in case I'm ever in a hurry and trying to get out of somewhere very quickly that whole process seems like it would take forever... Plus just more parts to break
I'm super interested to see where the industry goes in respect to keys. We got so many options. Regular physical key, wireless key, phone key, fingerprint, face ID. I would think having at least two options is and will continue to be standard. Personally I really like the phone key as the standard with either the fingerprint or wireless key as a backup. Also for the love of god get rid of start buttons on EVs!!!
@@y8fpefingerprint is extremely secure and has been so for countless phones, laptops, locks etc. People can't steal your fingerprint from your pocket or intercept the signal to make a fake key. Sounds more secure to me
100% get rid of start/stop buttons in EVs!! Makes no sense, and when I've pointed this our to car dealers they just look at me like.. "but we've always had start buttons!!".
I feel like this is one of those. If it ain't broke, don't fix situations. I've never had an issue with using a key fob. I suppose if you really want to reduce how much stuff you carry with you then maybe a good cell phone app? Why not NFC? Sure. You have to practically touch the phone to the car but it would work. It's a key and lock situation. Companies need to not overthink this
Car companies have underthought (opposite of overthink?) this for years. The need to physically bring two physical objects together (the key fob and the car) just to access and start the car seems incredibly archaic to me. It is definitely an is-broke, please-fix situation to me.

Thank you for these reviews. There is so much legacy OEM stuff in this: on/off button (why are these needed?), all of the buttons on the steering wheel (ridiculous), a rotating orb (such a gimmick and waste of space), etc., etc……
No cloud connected systems for security! Sorry, it needs to be local to the car only, if so then maybe. What happens when you are in the mountains outside of all cellular range for both the phone and car? Also when the battery dies then what, take part of the car apart to get in manually? I can see my 80+ year old mother in law doing this, well I can't see her trying to lift a CCS cable to charge it either! 👍🤠 What happens when you are on that mountain trip and your phone falls into the river or on the trail somewhere, hope you have your backup method to get in.
I would prefer a fob for the foreseeable future since I have to park in garages sometimes in NYC. But face unlock and phone unlock are great for when your hands are full. So not all day everyday but once in a while it’s a nice feature to have.
The face key is another one of those things that seems to be trying to fix a problem that didn't exist. My car VW Golf has a normal small key fob that uses proximity kinda like the Bluetooth app. I can walk up to my car with the fob in my pocket and when I put my hand in the door handle, it unlocks. Similarly, I tap the outside of the handle and it locks. This is pretty great since if the proximity fails for some reason, its still is a physical key that can physically go into a lock cylinder in the door. Why is standing outside the car awkwardly staring at the door an improvement? I might sound old but sometimes keeping something physical instead of integrating into an app makes more sense.
@@jefferyG499 ok so hold onto something. This will blow your mind. Without a key, you can’t get into or drive the car. If I want someone else to be able to drive the car, I physically hand them the car key.
I actually totally LOVE it! I'm especially hooked just cuz of that blue interior (which is my favorite color! I even like how that sporty, cyberpunk-esque type-ish vibes from the lime green stitching contrasts nicely with it. My top concern, though, is whether the "face unlock" feature can be tricked by using a flat 2D picture of my face (just like some phones), but I'd imagine they'd probably implement some sort of better AI-enhanced 3D detection software for something in that price range though! 😏
the drawer glovebox is awesome as a concept if it's built well. could have a "lid" that can slide out separately to function as a tray/eating or writing surface, but also it could probably hold more in a more accessible way
Thanks for the vid. My Tesla phone-as-a-key access is rock solid and works 100% of the time. I also always bring my access card in case my phone dies. Not a huge fan of my biometrics being stored in Hyundai servers. I use fingerprint access w/my smartphone - but for some reason have more confidence in the handset maker securing our data.
Why would car send bionetric data to hyundai server? Most likely it would be save in the car itself making it safter then Tesla. This seems to be better since I've had experince with Tesla phone key because of my phone running out of battery. This would be perfeft
Check the Renault Captur 2018 for the drawer glovebox ;). Really cool, along with another cool features like the zipper seat covers that you can put in a home washing machine.
I love genesis shifters the Lexus ones are so overcomplicated but the genesis ones never miss and all always, elegant, beautiful, and simple to operate.
@@SHRModding Not using the same wireless communication technology. With keyfobs they are using Code grabbing and now, relay attacks, that isn't yet (to my knowledge) being done with phone-as-key yet.
phone entry on my Tesla has been perfect, just walk up to the car and it unlocks. If I have to do my fingerprint / faceID in the rain on my car I am not buying it lmao.
Super confused how Bluetooth which should be entirely a local function between the app and the vehicle could go down... that seems like a design flaw to me!
It's a pain in the butt. Even my Hyundai SantaFe also has Bluetooth phone controls and I never use them cause of the lag to communicate to their servers and then to car. Why is it never direct to the vehicle, I just don't know.
So my mom has a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid. It comes with a of key fobs. But it also allows you to pair your phone via NFC to the car to function as a key. That allows you to use your phone to unlock the car and to start it. Not needing to have any access to other services. I don't understand why other people aren't using us
I think a bigger issue than the camera being iced over (there are other ways to unlock the car if that is an issue) would be those nifty disappearing door handles that I’ve seen ice over and be physically unable to deploy (in Tesla cars). There is no other way to handle that in terms of just not using that entry method. While it’s possible for more manual door handles to have issues also, it’s fairly rare with most cars and people in colder climates are having issues with this style of handle for the sake of aesthetics.
I prefer to have comfort access with a button or sensor on the door handle. I don't want to pull out my phone, (sometimes first turn on Bluetooth), open the app, and wait for it to communicate). I mean that's how it works with the App from MG for example. That UWB function on the other hand it awesome I think. BMW has been using it on all their newer cars like the i4, iX1, iX ...
Part of the solution to the issue you described at the end is more manufactures need to adopt Apple's CarKey feature that BMWs have. Stored locally on the phone in the secure enclave so it's both secure and always available (unlike Tesla, Rivian, etc. bluetooth key feature which seemingly requires a connection to their network).
Winter not a problem for GV-60. I live in Canada and in 1 year ownership facial recognition 100% reliable. I love this car. Genesis engineers have done a great job with everything. Never underestimate the Koreans. They are a bunch of perfectionists.
I wonder if we could have some tech that will not fail no matter the conditions, and it is not controlled by some company (that will make the car truly yours). A tech that so long as you have it with you, will get the job done... maybe something like a key? That would be amazing!
I think you forgot about the Ioniq5 (which you reviewed) :) It has both the drawer glove compartment and the buttons to move all passenger seats on the seat next to the driver.
Ever since getting my Tesla, I can't imagine carrying around a key anymore, at least daily. My phone is my key, wallet, and phone. Carrying around one thing instead of three is amazing.
@@arthurwright255 Saving the planet by driving an EV? Nope, that would be walking, biking, or taking public transit. EVs are significantly worse for the planet than those, despite being better than ICE vehicles.
Tesla Card fob is pretty convenient (and also cheap to replace if you lose or break it). Always have it in my wallet so no need to worry about a bulky key or fob.
I have the Mustang mach e with the phone as a key. It works most of the time with out issue. Benifit to the system is if it doesn't work there is a door code to get in and a code on the dash to start the car. Only needed that option when my phone has died. If the face/finger security is baked in to the car and doesn't rely on off board servers to operate it at least is a second option of phone as a key doesn't work
I have had one of these for a week shy of a year now. When you demonstrated the face unlock/start... I'm guessing the car was recognizing your phone? You didn't do the fingerprint scan that is required while pressing the start button in order to get the gear selector to flip and the vehicle ready to drive. The facial recognition has worked almost every time (definitely works after 2nd try), the fingerprint reader is where I've had more issues with getting the vehicle to start.
For me, the biggest barriers to switching to more convenient systems like phone key are reliability and redundancy. The perfect solution is either 100% reliable or has enough redundancy to be nearly there in practice. A regular key fob is basically 100% reliable and (nowadays) has the redundancy of a proximity system and a longer distance manual unlocking system. With Bluetooth phone key, if your phone is dead or Bluetooth decides not to work well, you could be SOL, so it’s not reliable enough to not carry around a backup. With UWB phone key (which I believe should work with the phone off at least on iPhone), it should be even more reliable, but still probably not reliable enough to be the only solution in emergencies if something goes wrong - for example there could be a lot of electrical noise or something. I think a system like this that is baked into the car and uses a standard UWB protocol rather than a more fiddly proprietary Bluetooth system is likely a lot more reliable, and having that extra layer of biometric unlock would add enough redundancy for it to replace a regular key for me.
Sure, a regular key fob is 100% reliable IF YOU HAVE IT WITH YOU. If you lose it so somewhere, there goes your redundancy (best case: you travel home to get your second fob or have someone bring it. worst case: it was your only fob and now the dealer will screw you over to code a new one). I have 100% redundancy with my Tesla without a fob because if the bluetooth phone-as--key fails, I can NFC tap the phone on the pillar to unlock. If that fails, I have a NFC wearable ring as my backup. Additionally, any other device I have access to I can quickly install the Tesla app, log in, and unlock and start the car that way. Zero reason to carry a fob.
The nice thing about Genesis is that they give you a lot of options to access and operate your car. I got a NFC key card, 2 key fobs, fingerprint, and phone access to my GV70. Its not just close by but actually connected to over the air cell network and I can remotely control it from anywhere. (Not sure if this is available in other countries, but in S.Korea I can be in a different city 100's km away and still turn my car on or open the doors etc..) There been times my wife needed access to the car while I was away and I could just control everything from my phone or give her access. There were times I went out with friends and didn't want to carry a key fob either, the NFC key card is so useful, even if say I lost my wallet and key fobs and phone all in one night, I can still run my car using my fingerprints. Little thing Genesis folks don't talk about but In S.Korea during the exact cherry blossom bloom day, the infotainment system changed entirely to cherry blossom theme. Whatever the weather outside is it changes themes. It's a bit gimmicky but I was so surprised it got the blooming day exactly when I got into my car and turned it on and it was raining cherry blossoms on the home screen.
They need to take consideration with the face sensor because of the concerns you highlighted. It is a great vehicle, but they need to make changes to the door handle as well. Why not ship an actual key with it as a second option?
So I think the key is something Tesla has nailed in the Model 3, Y, then S & X 2021 onwards. I've had a 3 and now have an Y and S and 99.5% of the time, the phone as a key works flawlessly. I always have my phone on me, so I always have a working key. I love the fact when I walk up to the S the door handles present. The only times when I've found it didn't initially work, unlocking the phone has solved it. I also think they've nailed the backup key with using a credit card key using RFID. It fits in the wallet, so you can leave it there and just forget about it.
The whole profile set "bit" is super interesting to me. I once told a friend of mine just for fun, that tesla's have a function that it knows via the phone key / unlock who's sitting on the drivers side so it automatically changes the seat position and other simple settings to match the driver's profile.. And he sort of believed me and I always felt it was a missed opportunity to not have such a "key" feature. Especially I share my car with my wife, often and when she drives the car the seat / steering and rear view mirror positions are all messed up for me and a profile setting like this would be boon.. EVs as they are also super "smart stuff" compatible all the time, MUST have such a feature, IMO!!
BMWs have had that feature for ages, profile per keyfob, so it automatically adjust all the driver's parameters (seat position, steering column, mirrors etc.) in dependence what key was used to unlock. Haven't tried their latest i-ranges which have phone unlock but I've read that the feature works the same. I honestly thought Tesla had that from the get go...
@@zwerko Tesla has had driver profiles from forever, but they can also be tied to a smartphone or access card/fob. Also, the driver profile is stored in the cloud and applicable in any Tesla. Next step is the ability for Tesla to save separate settings based on the Tesla model (as car sizes differ) and apply the appropriate one. Should be pretty simple.
Not true. I owned one in Canada for 1 year. 100% success rate in heavy rain, snow, darkness, name it. Love this car. Everything very well thought and high quality
With Porsche taycan you have an option on the main display like 3 clicks away that enables you to adjust the passenger seat with the controls of the drivers seat. I like that approach.
That's neat but I'd rather have physical buttons just for quick control of it. I don't need simple things buried in the screen. One reason why I didn't get an Ioniq 5 but instead I got the EV6 GT.
The face reader thing is concerning since other face ID systems got hacked. The weather thing is a great point. For me, I have been very happy with the Tesla phone key. I have had success with it every time, but it has been only a month of using so far. If you ignore production volume and that you do not get the IRA credit if you buy a Hyundai Group EV right now, because there is no US production of these EVs, I think it is best competition to Tesla right now. It feels like the competition we told was going to be here a couple of years ago, but happy it did make it to market. I think the Hyundai Group is making product that will appeal to more traditional buyers and has a more upscale interior. Too many buttons for my taste, but I get some are not ready to give up buttons. Would love to see how well this face ID system works in winter. Maybe a press loaner will be available in January to use for a month to see how it does.
Thanks for this video!! I just bought my car and my salesperson told me the digital key didn’t work on iPhones, so I hadn’t even tried it until I saw this video. And lo and behold it works perfectly. So indeed, thanks!! 😊
I refuse to buy a car without a key. Current key fobs are tiny, and even contain a physical key inside in case you need it. I find this to be just excessive and stupid, unnecessary complexity. If the system goes down you are stranded, if the internet goes down you are stranded. its like the bmw subscription for heated seats, what if it cant connect to the internet, do your heated seats stop working? Either way, cars have become retarded boxes of unrepairable high tech junk. I am glad we finally got to see the prius, a NORMAL car.
