Place near the door handle then put it in the wireless charger to start the car. Then have to remember to take it with me every time. Do you how many times I would leave it in the car when the car was parked in the garage since I don't have lock it? I'd rather they design cases for phones that act like the fob.
There is an option for express unlock that doesn't require Face ID/Touch ID each time, as phones that have the UB chip based on the 3.0 protocol can remain in your pocket/bag. That's why I believe it's a hardware update for July 1, 2020 SOP.

Will also work with Apple Watch, which is even easier than a phone.

Upcoming iOS 13.6 will support Apple Car Key— don't have to wait for iOS 14.
