Also, if this completely replaces the key fob, some sort of failsafe would have be designed into the system, incase your phone batteries dies, which certainly would require new hardware and programming.. One would assume..

The hardware is already there, because you can already do this if you have a samsung phone that supports digital key. If you're car came with the wallet key then I'd guess then it supports it. Apple being well a lockdown environment doesn't support NFC writes , only reads currently on ios (they only have it in applepay but no 3rd parties can use it)
