Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When inserted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver close to the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips were created to prevent car thieves which is why they are found in the majority of modern cars.

Transponder technology was first used during World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile.
