Mazda Switches To USB Keys

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-just-wierd dept.

kv9 writes "The new Mazda Sassou while being 'cool and promoting a positive state of mind' has a most important feature, that every geek will love. Instead of the classic key it uses a usb flash drive for starting up. The key can also be used to transfer things like driving instructions or music to the car's hard drive."

    Hah! At -40 I'd be worried about my frozen arm breaking when I turn the keys!
