2025 Best Safety Innovation – BMW Digital Key Plus

The winner of AJAC’s Best Safety Innovation award for 2025 is BMW Digital Key Plus. Its use of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology offers an innovative way to combat car theft. The two-way communication between the vehicle and the ‘key’ in the phone prevents the ‘relay’ attacks that have become commonplace, whereby a criminal capture signals from keys in a house and rebroadcasts them to steal the car.
