In 2015, You'll start your car with your smartphone's NFC connectivity

NFC (Near Field Communications) is not yet that popular between smartphone users but its included on all the current mobile devices and tablets in the market. There is no many Applications for the NFC use, but if you've ever dreamed of being able to use your smartphone to unlock or start your car with just a tap... just get a Smartphone with NFC cupport and wait till 2015.

We've already got cars like the Toyota Prius that doesn't need to have a key physically inserted into the car, it just uses RFID to know when the key is inside the car, and allows the car to start only then. But, the tap-and-go option of NFC could be a nice way to make it work as well.

The new Hyundai Connectivity Concept wants to give you that option. The trouble is that the Hyundai isn't planned for production until 2015. The concept car would also include an inductive charging pad like the Toyota Avalon that we saw recently.
