When the key is inserted into an automobile that uses transponder tech the chip transmits an informational low-level message to the receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to guard against theft of cars, which is why most modern cars have them.
Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, they've been commonplace on new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted into older models.
