Smart Access Is Moving Into More Vehicles
Automakers want access systems that make daily vehicle use easier without weakening security. Passive systems let drivers unlock vehicles without handling a conventional fob. Digital keys also allow phones to become vehicle credentials.
Premium vehicles and shared-mobility fleets add another use case. Fleet operators need credentials that can be assigned, revoked, or limited by time. Security teams also want better proximity detection and encrypted credentials to reduce risks from relay attacks. These needs are expanding the role of keyless systems from basic door access to vehicle identity and security management.
Published Evidence From Named Sources
Fact.MR cites three dated external sources in its report bibliography. The Car Connectivity Consortium, March 25, 2025, published an update to its Digital Key certification program covering Bluetooth Low Energy and ultra-wideband technologies. NIST published its 2025 SP 800-63A-4 digital identity guidelines, covering identity proofing and enrollment. The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe published a 2025 GRVA workshop covering
implementation of UN Regulations Nos. 155 and 156 on cybersecurity and software updates. The Fact.MR page does not provide quantitative statistics from these sources, so no third-party numerical figures are attributed to them here.
