watch/car starter

[AlbanyCartel]

i've been getting into watches lately and found this:


it seems that Toyota is currently working on a wrist-watch that has a door unlock/lock feature and a remote start feature.

unfortunately i cannot anymore info on this.


but it seems kinda cool

what do you think? can you picture yourself in a 3 piece suit, walking to your lexus, and starting it up with your watch?


if anyone can find more info, it would be helpful

What if your watch gets jacked?

what if bush somehow gets elected a 3rd term?
what if we're all part of The Matrix?
what if Kaiser Wilhelm II returns from the grave?
what if China is secretly making a Chuck Norris clone army?

China cant clone chuck norris, his beard would sense the trouble and roundhouse kick the shit out of them for trying something that stupid.

it's not that different from what other companies have. lexus and mercedes both have this thing that's like the size of a credit card and when it's withing a certain range of the car you can open the doors and start the car without using an actualy key. same shit, just this one's in a watch.

Sell your car, lose your favourite watch?

What a fucking stupid idea. I have an inexpensive device that does all of the above - called a key.

Idiots.

[Knifeblade]

I predict that we won't need keys for cars within , say , five years. Everything will be pushbutton on a remote device or a swipe card. Oz, you are SOOOOOOOOO behind the times,

[Oz]

Push button, remote or swipe card? I think it is you who is behind the times my friend.

Think: voice recognition, retina scan, fingerprint scan.

And it's going to be damn scary when it happens because not only do you lose your car to a thief - you also lose your right arm and an eye.

car's shmars, where's my damn teleporter?

[AlbanyCartel]

how about this,

why don't all of you just sell your cars and walk.

i mean, your statisically more likely to die in a car accident anyways.


infact, i suggest you live in a deep underground bunker and avoid society in general. how safer can you get then that?
right?

What if it caves in?

I think the watch idea would be kinda cool...at first. I tend to lose watches very easily.

you can't tell me you would only wear ONE watch all the time? i have two watches. i know people that have 3 or 4 just to match their outfits. do you have to buy 4 different watches also then? and then would you need a his and hers type watches? i know girls wouldn't like wearing a watch as big as mine.

it's a pretty cool idea though. and you would look pretty cool walkin up to your car after a meeting and just touching your watch.

What about driving ONE car for the rest of your life because you like the watch too much?
