'The Digital Key 1.0 standard sets the criteria for virtual keys that can be used in place of physical keys. '
' Samsung, LG, and Apple are looking to support Digital Key on their respective mobile devices. '
'Digital keys are clearly still a few years away from implementation, but there are several major automakers on board that could lead to widespread use. '
