Fist-Bumping Car Locks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The KeyDuino is a DIY Tool That Helps Users Unlock Their Car with Ease

— February 11, 2016 — Tech
The 'KeyDuino' is a simple DIY that gives bros everywhere a cooler way to unlock their car. The device makes use of Near Field Communication (NFC) in order to help drivers slide in and out of their vehicle with nothing more than a quick fist bump.

The KeyDuino was designed by Pierre Charlier, who is a French student and an active contributor to 'HackADay.io.' Charlier came up with the KeyDunio as a DIY solution for getting in and out of the car quickly. The simple device uses an NFC-enabled ring to communicate with the vehicle's dashboard unlock controls and an NFC scanner on the window. When the driver's ring bumps the scanner, this information is relayed to the locking mechanism and the car will automatically unlock.

The DIY tool demonstrates how NFC technology can be used to simplify everyday tasks in a clever and amusing way.
Trend Themes
1. Nfc-enabled Devices - The proliferation of KeyDuino and similar NFC-enabled devices presents opportunities to integrate NFC technology in other gadgets.
2. DIY Solutions - The success of KeyDuino as a DIY solution for car locks opens doors for other easy-to-use self-assembled gadgets.
3. Simplification of Everyday Tasks - The KeyDuino and similar devices simplify everyday tasks and show the potential for NFC technology to provide convenience in other aspects of daily life.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - NFC technology can disrupt traditional car locking mechanisms and create new possibilities for the automotive industry.
2. Iot - The KeyDuino device demonstrates possible uses for NFC technology in the Internet of Things industry to simplify everyday tasks.
3. DIY/ Maker - KeyDuino and similar DIY tools can target the DIY/maker market, which appreciates hands-on solutions to everyday problems.
