The device is a pilot and is more for the car-sharing market. Imagine a car owner who wants to borrow his car for a fee.

He can install the Smart Key Box on his car dashboard without having to make any further modifications.

The tenant sends a code through an application to be able to access the device. When the renter's smartphone is near the vehicle, the codes are validated via Bluetooth, a process similar to smart cars.

The time and period that the can access the Smart Key Box is configured and managed by Toyota, which is based on the rental time of the vehicle.

Toyota plans to release this new technology for testing next year, on a limited pilot scale in San Francisco, in partnership with a peer-to-peer car-sharing service called Getaround. And according to Rauters, last week, Getaround received a $ 10 million dollar investment from a Toyota-controlled fund.

The fund mainly spends money on and robotics, but the investment in Getaround is a sign that Toyota is interested in expanding into the car-sharing market.

As far as the pilot test is concerned, only the people who own the new Prius or any Lexus model can participate in it.
