Tesla came to popularize the use of NFC technology so that the driver can open the car and start it. There is a card that allows you to do this process, a “key”, and even a smartphone has such an opportunity. So, some owners of these electric cars came up with something simpler. What about implanting a chip that is programmed to open Tesla and make it work?

This is what Brandon Dalali did. It incorporates VivoKey Apex technology, which allows it to be integrated into the body without any health problems.

VivoKey Apex chip: Tesla key always at hand

This type of implant is not new yet a little more courage. We have already spoken several times about more radical people who do not want to use cards or keys and put "inside themselves", under the skin, technology that works like a key.

In the case we're showing you today, Brandon Dalali, the owner of Tesla, wanted to have a small chip inserted into his right hand. Now you just need to use your hand to open the car and give the command to unlock it to get started.

As we can see in the video below, Dalali showed how the chip implantation process was performed by a professional. This was reported by the news portal Business Insider.

The 39-year-old American took advantage of Vivokey's biochip technology, which is known for providing embedded solutions that can function as identification tokens.

The chip, called the VivoKey Apex, is coated in a biocompatible substance and uses the same contactless communication (NFC) that makes digital payment systems like Apple Pay possible.

After a quick procedure that cost $400 (about €400), Dalali uses the back of his hand to unlock his Tesla. According to him, this chip is not his first implant. In her left hand, Dalali has a smaller chip that stores her contacts, medical information, and a house key.

A technology professional, Dalali is part of a beta group in which about 100 people test the chip and its various features. According to the company's website, the VivoKey Apex is "a secure NFC chip that runs small programs called a Java Card."

This type of technology has been specified for several applications, even for monitoring human vital signs. Here the idea is to "never forget your car keys at home".

The first Dacia hybrid.  "The cheapest hybrid family on the market"

BUT Dacia revealed this Monday that the hybrid engine has been available since March on the Jogger, the Romanian brand’s model known to be available with a seven-seat variant.

The Jogger Hybrid 140, Dacia’s first hybrid, will hit dealerships in March, but customers can expect and order it as early as January.

The price has been revealed by Dacia and since it’s only available in the seven-seater SL Extreme, it starts at €28,800. The brand claims it is “the most affordable hybrid family car on the market.”

Available in six existing colors to celebrate the launch of this hybrid, there will be a slate gray version, as you can see in the images above.

Equipped with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 90 hp, the Jogger is also powered by two electric motors (a 50 hp engine and a high-voltage starter-generator). The total power is 140 horsepower. The electric transmission is automatic, four-speed, connected to an internal combustion engine, and two speeds are connected to an electric motor. This combined technology was possible, according to Dacia, only due to the lack of clutch.
