Says it's from Waterloo, though the promo video was filmed here. I don't see any angle grinders in the  testing room...

More solving of problems no one has...

I don't think many bike locks are 'picked'

I have never had a bike lock mechanism fail. 

My iPhone only recognizes my fingerprint half the times I use that feature. It eventually gets there but it tells me to try again like three times. I'd love it if my bike lock did the same. 

Reaching over your bike so inconvenient.

Oh great, now I can leave the bar and find out my _lock_ died and I need to go find some frikkin AAA batteries before I can go home... Just what I always wanted!

[Darrin Ward]

how hard would it be to hack the app to add a fingerprint or you know use the bluetooth connection to maliciously unlock the lock?

It also appears that the locking mechanism is in the handle region whereas it opens opposite that in the 'u' area, meaning this will be far more susceptible to car-jack attack.

Scotch tape transfer a fingerprint from an unattended beer glass, et voila.
