Another notable addition to Google's latest round of Pixel feature drop will make some BMW drivers happy. The update allows Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 6 Pro owners to use ultra-wideband technology for their digital car keys. This will let you unlock or lock a compatible car or even start your engine with it without taking your Pixel out of your pocket. The compatible vehicles, in this case, are "select 2022+ BMW models." Right now, the existing digital car key feature uses NFC. And that still requires you to hold up your phone near your car door handle. This new feature is expected to land in the coming weeks.
