Today, you no longer need to have a physical key to open and start your car, if it’s very recent. With the appearancehands-free opening, just keep the key in your pocket to be able to get on board and start the car. Better yet, some manufacturers offer simple cards that save even more space. In short, thanks to new technology, there are now many ways to get into a car. Enough to give ideas to certain motorists who are a little weird and borderline crazy. This is exactly the case of 39-year-old American Brandon Dalali, who had a real epiphany. The latter simply decided to use a microchip directly in his hand. Great, we told you.

A specific chip

There are actually two chips implanted. If they are mainly used for storage cryptocurrencies and data, it also functions as a key to the house and his Tesla Model 3. The man can then unlock and start his electric sedan with a single gesture while carrying the keys. And it is not for nothing that they are inside him now. But where did this idea come from? In fact, Brandon is part of a group of 100 beta testers for this technology developed by the company Vivokey. In an interview, he explains that ” The company that put this together literally has their own app store where you can wirelessly install apps on your body using these chips. And one of the applications is the Tesla key card. So this is the first app I’ve installed on it since I’ve had a Tesla and I now use it as a key when my Bluetooth key doesn’t work or I don’t have my card. You just use your hand“.

Lower price than it seems

You are probably wondering how much such an operation costs. And to be honest, the price is lower than we could have expected. Indeed, Brandon notes that “because I was a beta tester, I got the chip for $300 and my installer only charged me $100 to install it.” He goes on to explain the process, which is very simple: “ First chip was preloaded into a large syringe. They stuck a syringe in and inserted a chip like a dog“. So, tempted?
