Instead of flat metal keys that operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle which uses transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal it will trigger the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were created to deter car thieves and that is why they are found in the majority of modern cars.

The same concept was later applied to keys for cars and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are used on the majority of new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted to older models.

It can also recognize a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings according to their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and then automatically shut the doors.
