2016-03-06
so now I'm back with my McDonald's haul how does hands-free actually work well it uses Bluetooth low-energy Wi-Fi and location services to determine where you are and this concept of hands-free isn't exactly new but PayPal and Laguerre have experimented with it in the past Google's hands-free is separate and totally separate from Android pay now when we ask Google about security and tokenization metis is a one-time number that is used to essentially mask your credit or debit card information all Google did was point us to the official website which says this about security hands-free never shares your full credit card number with the store and all your payment details are stored securely and shared only with the payment processor after my first successful transaction I went back a few more times within the space at about 20 minutes to buy more things and each time after that I had to actually manually approve the transaction on my phone hands-free is available in a limited trial rollout in the South Bay of San Francisco you can see the location of all the stores in the app so hands-free it works but now I'm going to see if I can eat this Apple play hands-free
