Today's modern cars, from their fuel injection to their active suspension, are all computer controlled. Yet, access to these high-tech modern systems is still relinquished via a century old pintumbler ignition lock. Thus, the Opto-Electronic Lock represents a new family of solid state light operated devices which, by their overall durability, versatility, and security, are far superior to conventional mechanical or electro-mechanical devices. Incorporated directly as an ignition lock its unparalleled simplicity provides cost efficiency and manufacturability while its hitech base provides unparalleled security.
