When inserted into a car that uses transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips were developed to protect cars from theft which is why they are found in the majority of modern vehicles.

Transponder technology was first utilized during World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model.
