After getting a chip implanted in his arm that can open his Tesla, a Detroit man no longer needs a key to drive his vehicle, according to CNN.
A tech enthusiast from metro Detroit named Brandon Dalaly is generating news because he can unlock his car by waving his hand. He explained why he chose to get the chip inserted to Fox 2 Detroit.
“You can’t lose your hand, so you’ll always have a way of getting in your car,” he told the news outlet.
Dalaly’s chip can unlock the doors of his home and serves as a key for his Tesla. It can also store his contact and medical information, including his COVID-19 vaccination card.
“So after that was inserted and the swelling went down, I’m able to open up the front and back door of my house,” he explained. “I can walk up to people and have them tap their phone to my hand and instantly transfer my contact information in my portfolio, my Covid vaccine card.”
“The chips themselves are around $200 to $300 and the install is only about $100 because you can go to a local piercing shop who will agree to do the installation,” he continued. “All the programming and coding putting the apps on the chips – that’s all done by me.
