- Concept Car – NXP Semiconductors NV and Volkswagen introduced concept car called Volkswagen Arteon in Hamburg, Germany to demonstrate how ultra-wideband (UWB) technology can prevent relay car theft common to keyless car systems
- Relay Car Theft – Occurs when thieves trick a car to unlock by using relay boxes to disrupt signal between car key and vehicle
- Ultra-Wideband Technology – Low energy, short-range communications technology that measures spatial distance more accurately than Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and global positioning systems (GPS)
- How It Works – Measures exact traveling time between key and car, thwarting attempts to open car from a different location
- Other Applications – Include automated trailer hitch activation, in-cabin passenger detection, automated valet parking, hands-free parking lot access, and drive-through payment, as well as combining with artificial intelligence to enable driver to unlock car using gestures
- Production – UWB will be installed in Volkswagen car models in 2019, including new car to be displayed at Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany in September 2019, with production starting late 2019
