BMW key fob to double as your credit card
Share
Okay, we’ve seen Oyster cards on your mobile, car keys on your mobile, and barcode scanners on your mobile. BMW is taking the mobile out of the equation, however, and putting credit card functionality on your car keys. Experimental fob technology will allow you to pay for cheap items with just a swipe of your keys, like a Paywave card.
It wouldn’t be a massive stretch of the imagination to include Oyster card functionality on this, which would mean one less thing to pick up in the morning for thousands of Londoners. Then again, if you’re taking the tube to work, why would you take your car keys?

The whole debate has, apparently, been sparked off by the proposed erection of a statue commemorating Norman Collie and his local guide John Mackenzie on the island belstaff of Skye.
At the same time, the state’s first sandhill crane hunting season will be this Sept. 4 through Oct. 10 in the Northwest Goose Zone in portions of Kittson, Roseau, Marshall, Pennington, Red Lake and Polk herve leger counties.
Early goose hunting will open Sept. 4 and north face go through Sept.
Nice idea, so when they nick your card, they get a free car too! Really! You just know some plank will be waving his around in the local round the corner from your office in 6 months time!
