Wow, I could own a DBS. All I need is a hacksaw and the ability to jump someone…Personally I’d prefer it if all I had to do was steal the key fob.

The emotional control unit…it stops teary girls from starting the car, because that is the deadliest thing on the roads.

Remember the DBS has an “Emotional Control Unit” too start the car. What a ridiculous name, but the flipside is if I could afford any Aston Martin let alone a DBS I would not care what the key was called!

Surely it would have keyless start also?

Much of the fanciful sci-fi gadgets that appeared in the early Bond films are now everyday items.

This is a stunning piece of engineering, which will soon filter down to more everyday use.

To steal a car you now have to steal the watch first, but I dare anyone to rip it off James’ arm :)

Very cute, but apart from impressing your friends, how does this really help?
Presumably you still need to have the key with you (which also has the ability to unlock the car) before you can actually start it and go anywhere…
