This is a great idea. I can think of another place to put it that you wouldn't need surgery to remove it. LOL not sure if the signals will be detected though.

You joke, but implantable security and identity is certainly coming, just not sure if it's mainstream 10 years or 30 years from now. Maybe the Jxxx-platform.

FWIW, now that BMW supports the key card, having an RFID chip embedded would at least work to open the car...kind of hard to drive with it on the steering column though!
Might be nice if you were going somewhere and not wanting to carry your fob (like swimming, hiking, running, biking, etc.). If you put the fob in a Faraday cage, you could lock it in, and never be locked out of the car (well, assuming the battery in the car wasn't flat!). There are some businesses that use some security systems that let people do this now if they wish. They can also use it to pay at the on-site cafeteria. So, it's not that far out there. BMW could extend their RFID field so it could work with an embedded chip if they wished to drive rather than just open the door. Those embeddable chips, essentially what many people put in their pets for identification should they be lost, are about the size of a grain of rice. It could also be used to access a health record for a person or unlock your door at home...IOW, it's likely to be here sooner than you might think. |
