WearablesAndroid 12 this fall will introduce support for digital car keys. With our phones growing ever more capable, losing them will become a greater and greater inconvenience. As such, the Find My Device process will incorporate deleting and suspending car keys if you misplace your phone.
Version 2.4.042 of Find My Device introduces a pair of strings describing two upcoming messages for users:
<string name=”lock_screen_message_car_keys_deletion_notice”>Your car keys will be deleted</string>
<string name=”lock_screen_message_car_keys_suspension_notice”>Your car keys will be suspended</string>
This “notice” will most likely appear before you secure (suspend) or erase (delete) a device as a reminder. The latter action is quite straightforward, but it’s unclear whether the former does anything more than require a device unlock before the car key is restored.
Suspend and delete are presumably tied to the overall action of device locking/wiping rather than being individual steps you can take. That said, the implementation details are not fully known today.
