This is about Smart Lock extension, which allows users to unlock “partner” devices using the same account and connecting to the same network. For example, you can currently unlock your computer (or when you’re actively working with it) near your Chromebook.

As part of the announcement of this news, Google did not forget to remind that it has already prepared an option for Pixel phones and some Samsung mobile phones unlock vehicles by approaching the lock (via NFC). The list of supported phones and vehicles is to be expanded within a few months (currently the novelty works on selected BMW models) and support for UWB will also be added. This ensures that you don’t even have to take your mobile phone out of your pocket when unlocking.
