'There are obviously many permutations when it comes to how this shared key technology can be used,' added Martin Rosenqvist, New Car Director, Special Products at Volvo Cars. 'We look forward to seeing how else this technology might be used in the future and we welcome any and all ideas.' Volvo is a pioneer with new digital key solutions. In 2015 the Swedish premium carmaker launched the world's first commercial offer to have online shopping delivered directly to the car, by providing a one-time digital key to a delivery company. Now the digital key technology will also be made available for customers. Physical keys will continue to be offered for people who want them. Volvo's innovative keyless car technology will be shown for the first time at the Mobile World Congress 2016 (22-25 February) in Barcelona at the Ericsson booth.
