Earlier this month, 9to5Mac found code in the iOS 13.4 beta for a CarKey API, or application programming interface. CarKey seems to be a system that will allow your iPhone or Apple Watch to lock, unlock, even start your car… if your car has NFC and the manufacturer partners with Apple to make it all just work.
And… it sounds great. Terrific even. But it also still sounds so limited compared to the Apple Watch future I've been dreaming about for over half a decade.
Why? Let's get into it!
