Bird lets you rent a scooter with a tap, no QR scan required

Bird lets you rent a scooter with a tap, no QR scan required

Bird has a new, faster way to rent a scooter. 

Called Quick Start, the feature allows Bird riders to activate a nearby scooter by walking towards it and tapping a button. 

Bird says this is twice as fast as the typical method of unlocking, which requires users to scan a QR code located on the scooter. 

There might be another benefit. QR codes are sometimes unreadable, be it a result of age or vandalism. I've experienced this often in Berlin. The Quick Start method is a pretty simple way to bypass QR scanning altogether.
