In a recent announcement by Xiaomi's automotive division, the Xiaomi SU7 is set to revolutionize smart travel by supporting multiple smart wristbands for unlocking vehicles using NFC technology. This innovative feature is poised to offer users a whole new level of intelligent travel experience.
NFC (Near Field Communication) technology enables short-range wireless communication, allowing electronic devices to exchange data within a few centimeters without physical contact. In the automotive sector, NFC technology has been widely utilized for scenarios like vehicle unlocking and starting. By integrating NFC technology, vehicles can establish secure and fast connections with users' smart wristbands and other devices, enabling keyless unlocking and starting of the vehicle.
As a key model in Xiaomi's automotive lineup, the Xiaomi SU7 will support various Xiaomi and third-party brand wristbands for unlocking vehicles using NFC technology. This feature will bring several conveniences to users:
Firstly, users can unlock their vehicles using the wristband without the need to carry traditional keys, reducing the risk of key loss. A simple wave is all it takes to effortlessly unlock the vehicle and get on the road quickly.
Additionally, as wristbands are wearable devices, they offer higher portability and security. Users can wear the wristband on their wrists at all times, eliminating concerns about forgetting or losing keys. Moreover, wristbands support security features like password protection and fingerprint recognition, ensuring the vehicle's security.
Furthermore, the Xiaomi SU7 allows users to set up multiple wristbands as vehicle keys, facilitating vehicle sharing among family members or friends. By adding the corresponding wristband devices in the vehicle settings, users can easily enable shared vehicle access.
The Xiaomi SU7 is not only compatible with Xiaomi's own smart wristband products but also supports smart wristbands from other leading brands. This means that regardless of the smart wristband brand users prefer, seamless integration with the Xiaomi SU7 ensures a convenient smart travel experience.
Market Potential of NFC Car Keys:
The market space for NFC car keys is rapidly expanding and holds significant growth potential. Digital keys are becoming an integral part of vehicle intelligence trends. According to data from the Gaogong Smart Automobile Research Institute, by 2023, the delivery volume of new vehicles equipped with pre-installed digital keys in the Chinese market (excluding imports and exports) will exceed 7 million units, a year-on-year growth of 52.54%, maintaining a high growth rate. This demonstrates an increasing consumer acceptance of digital key technology, with market demand rapidly rising.
Furthermore, NFC technology, as a means of implementing digital keys, offers unique advantages. NFC technology facilitates close-range wireless communication, enabling fast and secure connections between vehicles and users' smart devices (such as phones, wristbands, etc.). This connection not only makes vehicle unlocking and starting convenient for users but also provides rich vehicle information and services, enhancing the overall user experience. According to data from the AIoT Star Map Research Institute, by 2028, approximately 70% of vehicles are expected to support NFC unlocking.
As smart cars and IoT technology continue to evolve, vehicles will increasingly interconnect with more smart devices. NFC technology, as a universal wireless communication technology, will play a crucial role in this process. Automotive manufacturers can leverage NFC technology to connect with smart wristbands, smartwatches, and other devices to offer more convenient and personalized services, meeting consumers' diverse needs in the future of smart travel.
