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."

    Renault has been doing it for years, on most of their models.
