Question: What can a Christian never be?

“It clearly states that salvation doesn’t come from the Jews’ conversion, but it’s very respectful of their own mission,” said Alberto Melloni, the director of a liberal Catholic research institution, the John XXIII Foundation for Religious Studies in Bologna. He called the message “a courageous and important written document of the Catholic Church.” Coming 50 years after the Vatican formally repudiated the idea of collective Jewish guilt for Jesus’ death, the document emphasized the tight and inescapable link between Christianity and Judaism. “A Christian can never be an anti-Semite, especially because of the Jewish roots of Christianity,” it stated. Cardinal Kurt Koch, the president of the Vatican Commission, said on Thursday that the church’s dialogue with Jews was not just interreligious, but “intrareligious, or intrafamiliar.” Jewish leaders praised the document and the way that Catholic-Jewish relations had progressed.

Question: What type of recognition was received for the music?

Luminous cluster-like chords unfold in steady rhythmic patterns during the slow movement, though the soloists and groups of orchestra instruments keep injecting squirrelly, creepy things into the tranquillity. The last movement begins with a whiplash sound and becomes a stew of crackling Bachian vitality. As an artist in residence with the Philharmonic this season, Ms. Batiashvili has become a familiar and welcome presence. She, along with Mr. Leleux, Mr. Gilbert and the composer, received enthusiastic ovations. I can imagine many orchestras following Mr. Gilbert’s example by pairing these concertos together. A smart move by Mr. Escaich.

Question: When will the pieces of the collection be rotated out and replaced?

★ Metropolitan Museum of Art: ‘Celebrating the Arts of Japan: The Mary Griggs Burke Collection’ (continuing) This lavish roll out of 160 objects came to the Met from the Mary and Jackson Burke Foundation last spring. The Burkes loved Japanese art — all of it — and the collection is close to compendious in terms of media, from wood-carved Buddhas to bamboo baskets, with a particular strength in painting, early and late. The quality of the work? Japan thinks highly enough of it to have made the Burke holdings the first Japanese collection from abroad ever to show at Tokyo National Museum. Some pieces on view now will be rotated out and replaced in February, making this an exhibition to visit at least twice. 212-535-7710, metmuseum.org.

Question: Who did Matt Harvey strike out three times?

WASHINGTON — Three months ago, Matt Harvey strutted around the Nationals’ mound here during one of the most important starts of his young career, his first since having Tommy John surgery. He fired fastballs at will, snapped his slider like a whip, struck out Bryce Harper three times and announced to the baseball world that he was back. During his start here Monday, the lasting image of Harvey was him turning, his hands out, watching as a Clint Robinson double ricocheted high off the center-field wall in the third inning. Harvey’s command looked off, and this time the Nationals did not look intimidated. Harvey often walked off the mound in conversation with catcher Anthony Recker, searching for answers. The Mets had aligned their starters after the All-Star break with this series in mind. They wanted to line up Harvey, Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, their three best starters, to make a run at the Nationals, the National League East leaders. Harvey lost the first game, 7-2, in humbling and conflicting fashion. He allowed five early runs and issued four walks, yet he lasted seven innings and even drove in two runs. Harvey was not at his best, but his offense and his defense repeatedly failed him.

Question: What is the name of the show that is hoping to be renewed?

Most Likely Thing That Could Come of This ShowThe Chanels were sentenced not to prison but to the Palmer Asylum for the Insane. If “Scream Queens” does get a renewal, we could be looking at a subtitle: “Scream Queens: Asylum.” What’s that you say? It’s already been done? Anyway, goodbye for now to this brash, sometimes offensive, sometimes funny, reference-heavy series. Which ended, of course, with a reference: “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” the Simple Minds song identified with “The Breakfast Club.” Reference-dropping, apparently, is the new originality.

Question: What is the source of the bulk of Needles' water?

As it happens, Needles gets most of its water from underground — pumping an average of about 700 million gallons a year from four wells it has drilled into the local aquifer. In recent years, such withdrawals have taken on more importance in the West, particularly in California and Arizona, as streams shrivel, rivers are fought over and reservoirs run dry. About 60 percent of California’s water now comes from underground, according to estimates by NASA researchers. Arizona, staring down imminent rationing of Colorado River water, pumps nearly half its supplies from aquifers.

Question: What was BT in the past?

That split is the same as the broadcasters now hold for the British rights to televise the Premier League, whose teams, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, play in games that can attract a global audience of about three billion each week. The league is expected to receive at least an additional $3 billion when it sells the rights to international broadcasters, including those in the United States, later this year. The battle to broadcast the English soccer games had set Sky, which is partly owned by Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox, against BT, the former British telecommunications monopoly that has aggressively expanded into live sports programming as a way to promote its array of cable television and Internet services.

Question: What will the coach not be happy about?

Until his health began to fail, we traveled to see the Cubs in San Francisco and San Diego, and Arizona, where in 2007 we took my son, Alex, to the first round of the National League playoffs so he could be duly indoctrinated: two games against the Diamondbacks, two losses by the Cubs. In truth, as time passes, the results have mattered less than the time we had together. The Cubs have been, more than anything else, a shared experience. I will remember that this October, when they reach the World Series. I plan to take Alex with me. But first I will have to speak with his high school basketball coach. I do not imagine he will be happy about my son missing practice right before the start of the season, so I am prepared to explain that the Cubs do not play in a World Series every day. If necessary, there is a deal I am prepared to make.

Question: what judge rebuked the arguments?

Judge Walls rejected each of those arguments. He said there was no indication that the grand jury had been handled improperly, and concluded that political contributions can be considered “things of value to influence official acts.” “The Constitution does not protect an attempt to influence a public official’s acts through improper means, such as the bribery scheme that has been alleged in this case,” he wrote in his decision. Mr. Menendez, a Democrat, was indicted in April on charges that he accepted personal gifts, including private plane trips and luxury accommodations in the Dominican Republic, from Dr. Melgen, and lobbied in return for Dr. Melgen’s interests in Washington. A wealthy Florida eye surgeon, Dr. Melgen was a major contributor to Mr. Menendez’s political campaigns, and to a “super PAC” supporting his last re-election bid in 2012.

Question: Which motorway is near the house?

“We moved here 12 years ago when there was another house on the site because we wanted to live beside the lake, in a home with its own mooring and fishing rights,” Mr. Hague said. “The location also appealed to us because it was so rare — it is extremely unusual to find a place like this, just half an hour from London and within easy reach of the M25 motorway.” “Our aim at the time was to extend and refurbish the original house, but as we looked into it we realized it would be better to completely rebuild,” he continued. “That way we would end up with a home that was exactly what we wanted: something with a much more contemporary flavor.” The 4,900-square-foot property, which is on the market for 2 million pounds, or $3.1 million, was six years in the planning before construction began in 2009. It took just nine months for the old house to be demolished and the first and second stories of the new building to be completed, then a further three or four months for the basement level and the interiors to be finished. “We spent approximately £1 million on the build, with the builders beating the budget and completing on time,” Mrs. Hague said.

Question: How long did it take to raise the donations?

“Help us raise back the $100,000 a donor asked us to return because we welcome transgender girls,” read the headline on the page, which included a video about the Girl Scouts’ commitment to inclusivity. In a little over five hours, Ms. Ferland says, the site had already received over $100,000 in donations. By the end of that first day, the number was up to $243,958 from 4,760 donors. By the time the fund-raising effort was concluded a month later, the organization had raised $365,573. It was a victory for the Girl Scouts and a lesson for the philanthropic community. “The lesson for the fund-raising community is that if you’re interested in accessing the L.G.B.T. market, your values have to be those of inclusiveness,” says Mickey MacIntyre of realChange Partners, a consultant for nonprofits, focusing on L.G.B.T. issues.

Question: what was the father failing to do for his son?

Not only is this young man entitled to conceal the truth from his father, but he doesn’t owe him a repayment later when he can afford it. Threatening not to do your duty if your son turns out to be gay — which is, after all, something over which he has absolutely no control — is awful in many ways. The fact that he would fail to discharge his obligation to pay his fair share if the son told the truth is a reason not to tell him the truth. Kenji Yoshino: Yes, I agree with both of you. The father is behaving unethically, given that his support is accompanied by the demand that the letter writer change something that is not susceptible to change. So the question is how to conduct yourself ethically when a person with power over you is not doing so.

The fact that he would fail <hl> to discharge his obligation to pay his fair share <hl> if the son told the truth is a reason not to tell him the truth. Kenji Yoshino: Yes, I agree with both of you. The father is behaving unethically, given that his support is accompanied by the demand that the letter writer change something that is not susceptible to change. So the question is how to conduct yourself ethically when a person with power over you is not doing so.


Question: What is the moral of the Shanleys story?

Having gotten to know these people and watched their undoing as if it were a slow-motion car accident, we long for a happy ending. There can be second acts in seemingly broken marriages. (Read Jenny Offill’s “Dept. of Speculation” for a recent literary example.) But in a daring interim chapter called “That Year and Those That Followed,” Ms. Pierpont widens her lens, temporarily abandoning her pointillistic moment-by-moment descriptions for a panoramic shot that sweeps years into paragraphs, projecting far out into the Shanleys’ future. It has the leaden sting of inevitability and cannot help dampening what is still to come. The die is cast, she seems to be saying. There is no going back.

Answer: There is no going back

Question: Which justice concurred on similar grounds?

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. concurred on similar grounds. When one hears the term “tangible object,” he said, “a fish does not spring to mind — nor does an antelope, a colonial farmhouse, a hydrofoil or an oil derrick.” In dissent, Justice Elena Kagan wrote that the real issue in the case, Yates v. United States, No. 13-7451, was that the law is too harsh. It is, she wrote, “too broad and undifferentiated, with too-high maximum penalties, which give prosecutors too much leverage and sentencers too much discretion.” She added, “And I’d go further: In those ways,” the law “is unfortunately not an outlier, but an emblem of a deeper pathology in the federal criminal code.” Still, she said, “this court does not get to rewrite the law.” She said it was “broad but clear.” “A fish is, of course, a discrete thing that possesses physical form,” Justice Kagan wrote, citing as authority the Dr. Seuss classic “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.”

Question: Who was Mr. Kravis and Mr. Roberts mentor?

That model has underpinned the basic private equity deal ever since. While at Bear Stearns, Mr. Kohlberg became the mentor of two promising Wall Street types, the cousins Mr. Kravis and Mr. Roberts, who quickly took to this form of deal-making. But others at the firm began to grumble about the three spending too much time away from bread-and-butter business of the firm, investment banking. After an attempt to form a leveraged-buyout group within Bear Stearns was rejected, the three men struck out on their own. With the help of eight investors, including Mr. Kravis’s father and Mr. Kohlberg’s $5 million nest egg, they set up Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company in Midtown Manhattan. Though the early years of the firm were sometimes lean, K.K.R.’s business model proved alluring, prompting a growing stream of competitors eager to reap huge profits from deals made with borrowed money.

Question: What kind of case study is Swanberg's new feature?

“Digging for Fire,” Joe Swanberg’s new feature is, like many of his previous movies, a case study in heterosexual ethics. Its scope is narrow and, the title notwithstanding, it plumbs no great depths. But like Mr. Swanberg’s “Drinking Buddies” and “Happy Christmas,” the film has an appealing honesty and an enjoyably low-key comic style. The opening titles promise a big ensemble, and a good deal of suspense comes from wondering just when some of those intriguing names will show up. It would almost be a spoiler to tell you when and in what capacity they do, but it’s fun to anticipate the arrival of Melanie Lynskey, Sam Elliott, Brie Larson, Chris Messina (who gets naked) and Anna Kendrick (who almost does). Orlando Bloom appears at almost the precise moment you’ve forgotten he was supposed to, wearing a man-bun and an air of rugged weariness.

Question: How long did it take Clayton to break the record?

LOS ANGELES —  Clayton Kershaw went to the mound on Sunday needing to strike out six batters to reach 300 for the season, something no major league pitcher had done in 13 years. With the first round of the postseason against the Mets looming, he wasn’t going to stick around very long. Maybe a couple of innings or so, just enough to stay sharp, even if he didn’t remain long enough to get to 300. And yet he did get there, striking out seven San Diego Padres in just three and two-thirds innings, and getting two standing ovations from Dodgers fans along the way. In the end, he finished the 2015 regular season with a 16-7 record, a 2.13 E.R.A., a WHIP of 0.88 and a strikeout total of 301, a nice exclamation point for a pitcher who has already won three Cy Young Awards and a Most Valuable Player trophy.

Question: How many books has Aaron Hicklin stocked in his bookstore?

On a recent Sunday afternoon, the journalist and editor Aaron Hicklin was standing among some still-empty shelves in his newly completed bookstore, One Grand, in a former mercantile building in the town of Narrowsburg, New York. In less than one week, he would open the doors to the shop, but at the moment he was still fretfully awaiting the final shipments of his stock. “I’ll be honest, I am really surprised by how many books you need to fill a space,” Hicklin said. “I have about a thousand in here, but you’d never know it. I’ve got to fill these damn shelves!”

Question: Where did the people come from to gain advice?

People inside Intel often come to me for advice, and they might say, “I’ve got these two job offers inside the company. I don’t know which one to take.” I’ll say, “Which do you want to do?” They’ll say, “I want to do this one, but the other one is the next step up.” And I’ll say: “The thing I learned is that if you’re not doing the job you want to do, it will reflect on your performance. You’re better off to take a job you’re excited about than to do the one you think somebody wants you to do.” People are successful when they’re intellectually and emotionally engaged as opposed to when they’re checking the box.

Question: What do some soldiers forget on their first day of excercise

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: What service does Hicklin want to provide in hotels in the future?

Hicklin said he will eventually launch projects such as in-room book selections at hotels, or perhaps book-concierge services on flights. But for now, he’s happy to keep the project small and localized. “I’m running this store out of completely selfish motivation,” he said. “I get the benefit from being surrounded by books in this beautiful location, engaging with people in an environment that I create and that reflects my sensibility.” Below, Hicklin shared his own list — the 10 books he’d want with him on a desert island. “Tess of the D’Urbervilles,” by Thomas Hardy; “Another Country,” by James Baldwin; “If This Is a Man,” by Primo Levi; “Watership Down,” by Richard Adams; “A Collection of Essays,” by George Orwell; “The Long-Winded Lady: Notes from The New Yorker,” by Maeve Brennan; “A Handful of Dust,” by Evelyn Waugh; “Eastern Approaches,” by Fitzroy Maclean; “The Line of Beauty,” by Alan Hollinghurst; “The Secret History,” by Donna Tartt.

Question: What's the last name of the coach in question?

Players said Coughlin played a significant role this week in keeping despair out of the locker room. “He’s the same man every single day,” running back Rashad Jennings said. “Never budges, stays the course.” Eli Manning disagreed with the part about Coughlin always being on an even keel — “Sometimes he can get a little animated, and he’ll get fired up” — but he said the larger point was that Coughlin had seen enough slow starts to drive his teams through the darkness. “He challenged the team — that’s what great coaches do,” Manning said, adding, “You’ve got to find a way to push the guys without getting them down.”

Question: How many workers did Cekicler Marble let go out of the 450 employees?

Turkey has 40 percent of the world’s commercial marble reserves and has been by far the dominant supplier to China, where domestic marble tends to be heavily cracked and often an unattractive yellow. But the value and tonnage of China’s marble imports have plunged by nearly a third just in the past year, paralleling a steep drop in housing starts there. For Cekicler Marble in Eskisehir, that has meant closing three of the company’s nine marble quarries and laying off a third of the 450 workers. The company had designed for sale to China an automated production line that costs $550,000 and helps turn 25-ton blocks of Turkish marble into slim tiles. But after expecting to sell 10 a year, the company actually sold one last year and none this year, with leads for the sale of two next year.

Question: It was said Mr. Trump wanted to restrict who from entering the country?

“Put Hillary in jail!” a man shouted. Mr. Cruz smiled. “She may already be there,” he said. “But if so, I’ll be sure to bake her a cake and send it to her.” Several voters interviewed across three states on the trip so far said they admired Mr. Trump, and had previously considered supporting him, but had found themselves drifting toward Mr. Cruz. “He’s a Southern guy,” Frank Dolhan, 50, said of Mr. Cruz in Kennesaw. “Trump’s a Northern guy.” Mike Homan, 35, of Dallas, Ga., attended the event with a Trump supporter, Howard Adkins, whom he hoped to flip. Mr. Adkins wondered if Mr. Cruz might be able to preserve the spirit of some of Mr. Trump’s more explosive proposals, like restricting Muslim entry into the country, which he said had veered “unconstitutional, a little.” “It’s a hard thing to do,” Mr. Adkins said, “to stay within our Constitution and keep people out.” An event on Sunday in Trussville, Ala., included residents who had attended Mr. Trump’s rally in nearby Birmingham last month. “They have very similar messages,” said Steve McMunn, 63, who remains torn between the two.

Answer: Muslim

Mr. Cruz smiled. “She may already be there,” he said. “But if so, I’ll be sure to bake her a cake and send it to her.” Several voters interviewed across three states on the trip so far said they admired Mr. Trump, and had previously considered supporting him, but had found themselves drifting toward Mr. Cruz. “He’s a Southern guy,” Frank Dolhan, 50, said of Mr. Cruz in Kennesaw. “Trump’s a Northern guy.” Mike Homan, 35, of Dallas, Ga., attended the event with a Trump supporter, Howard Adkins, whom he hoped to flip. <hl> Mr. Adkins wondered if Mr. Cruz might be able to preserve the spirit of some of Mr. Trump’s more explosive proposals, like restricting Muslim entry into the country, which he said had veered “unconstitutional, a little.” <hl> “It’s a hard thing to do,” Mr. Adkins said, “to stay within our Constitution and keep people out.” An event on Sunday in Trussville, Ala., included residents who had attended Mr. Trump’s rally in nearby Birmingham last month. “They have very similar messages,” said Steve McMunn, 63, who remains torn between the two.

Question: how many blasts were there?

The Boston race has been dominated by East Africans, with Kenya and Ethiopia taking 16 of the last 18 women’s titles. Kenya and Ethiopia also won 24 of the 26 men’s races before Keflezighi gave the United States its first victory since 1983. Now it could be the women’s turn. Flanagan was fourth in the 2013 Boston race, crossing the finish line a few hours before two explosions there killed three people and wounded more than 260. She led early last year, when she conceded to being overanxious in the aftermath of the bombings. “Everyone knows that this is the one I want to win so badly,” Flanagan said. “That’s probably been one of my downfalls — that I want it too much.”

Question: What is the role of Morten Jorgensen?

It took a month for Vestas, the sponsor, to commit to rejoining the race. The decision was made to painstakingly remove the mangled boat from the reef and rebuild it in half the original build time at Persico Marine in Genoa, Italy. “We knew that our story could not end on that reef,” Morten Kamp Jorgensen, the team’s communications director, said in an interview this week. “We reshuffled our budgets and organization. This was a race to ensure that Vestas will be remembered as a team that overcame challenges.” An inquiry into the accident revealed that the navigator, Wouter Verbraak, had not zoomed in enough on the boat’s navigation system to see the exposed reef. Investigators found that “at different times the navigator zoomed in on the electronic chart and came to the same incorrect conclusion.” Since the inquiry, small changes have been made to the race’s rules. Officials have said there will be more.

Question: How many conference commissioners supported the N.L.R.B's decision?

Northwestern University, which strongly urged its players to vote down the union ahead of last year’s secret ballot election, released a statement from Alan Cubbage, a spokesman. “We believe strongly that unionization and collective bargaining are not the appropriate methods to address the concerns raised by student-athletes,” it read. “We are pleased that the N.L.R.B. has agreed with the university’s position.” Across college sports, many others praised the ruling. The commissioners of 31 of the largest conferences issued a statement calling the N.L.R.B. decision “the right call,” and Donald Remy, the N.C.A.A.’s chief legal officer, said it would allow the association “to continue to make progress for the college athlete without risking the instability to college sports that the N.L.R.B. recognized might occur under the labor petition.”

Question: How much under the cap are the Knicks projected to be?

The team had no such luck this time around. Then again, a top-five pick is a luxury for the Knicks, who have a troubling history of trading away picks in ill-advised deals. More recently, they have been hamstrung by salary-cap limitations — code for excessive spending. Still, they will have money to spend this summer after shedding the onerous contracts that belonged to Amar’e Stoudemire and Andrea Bargnani, among others. Mills projected that the team would be $28 million under the cap. He also said that free agency could affect the Knicks’ approach to the draft. “It’ll have a big impact,” he said. “We’ll look at what kind of guys are going to move in free agency and have our draft plans accordingly.”

Question: What are police departments equipping their officers with?

Police departments around the country have been moving with unusual speed to equip officers with body cameras to film their often edgy encounters with the public. But the adoption of these cameras has created a new conflict over who has the right to view the recordings. In Seattle, where a dozen officers started wearing body cameras in a pilot program in December, the department has set up its own YouTube channel, broadcasting a stream of blurred images to protect the privacy of people filmed. Much of this footage is uncontroversial; one scene shows a woman jogging past a group of people and an officer watching her, then having a muted conversation with people whose faces have been obscured.

Question: Who claimed that Fiorina's feminism is all about the fortunes of Fiorina herself?

“The evil genius of Fiorina,” Stan wrote, “is her uncanny ability to play the gender warrior within the GOP while promoting the party’s misogyny.” Stan continued: “But her feminism seems to begin and end with the fortunes of Fiorina herself, and seeing as she probably doesn’t rely on Planned Parenthood for her health care, she’s happy to deprive millions of women of that care by promoting outright lies about the organization, as in her false description of the video she referenced.” This distancing herself from the realities of less fortunate women is not new for Fiorina. When she became C.E.O. of Hewlett-Packard in 1999, she made the preposterous claim that “there is not a glass ceiling… My gender is interesting but really not the subject of the story here.”

Question: The submissions were taken to what city?

A major focus of the Iraqi pavilion this year (held at Ca’ Dandolo, a palazzo on the Grand Canal) is a set of drawings by adult Iraqi refugees who fled the Islamic State’s onslaught. These depictions — a hooded militant shooting a mother and child, a bandaged man whose bleeding heart is shaped like Iraq — were produced when the Ruya Foundation took paper, pencils and crayons to refugees in three camps in northern Iraq. All 546 submissions were then flown to Beijing and shown to the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, who made a selection for a book published by the foundation. (That book is on sale at the exhibition and proceeds will go to the refugees.)

Question: Who does Breuer think the Mets need to re-sign?

Still, the task of turning New York into a Mets town is far from complete. Prince, the blogger, offered two ways to measure future progress: when Mets caps are highly visible on all trains, not just the 7 line to Flushing, and when a fan’s request to turn a restaurant television to a Mets game is not met with a look “like you have three eyes.” More important, they probably need to do well in the postseason and then re-sign Cespedes. “I think we have a great chance of going all the way,” Breuer said.

Question: As per the paragraph, what is Islam a religion of?

Whenever I hear someone say Islam is a religion of peace I want to yell at them and say, “Hey, look behind you.” It’s an impossible job, explaining Islam, whether you’re an observing Muslim (no alcohol, no bacon, no jihad) or an accidental Muslim (a bit of everything, and surely no jihad) or somewhere in between. But if we can’t do the explaining, we’re told, the least we can do is some condemning. Muslims don’t condemn enough, apparently. Yet if as a good Muslim I started to condemn everything bad that is done by Muslims, I wouldn’t have any time left to say my five daily prayers, let alone make macaroni and cheese for my kids or take them to the park. And I’d become a worse kind of Muslim.

Question: How big is the building?

Q. Your next makeover is at 1156 Avenue of the Americas.  A. That’s a building that we’ve owned since 1999. I was looking at the building and I said, well, if this building was for sale now and one of the major brokers had it on the market it would come with a high-gloss book and it would show all of the possibilities a buyer could do with the building. So I thought there’s no reason we shouldn’t do it. We own it. We could do what a broker would say could be done. It’s about an 84,000-square-foot building, so it’s rather on the small side, and on that we’re spending $4 million. Q. What’s your occupancy rate portfoliowide?  A. We’re over 96 percent. We have a high renewal rate as well — in excess of 70 percent.

Question: Ninety-five percent of the time, a car sits there doing what?

If a person who owns a high-end vehicle enters a mall, a phone could offer recommendations for stores and deals specific to that person, and the car manufacturer would get a piece of the action for any sale. To prevent someone from being bombarded with ads, the driver’s previous purchases in specific stores could correlate to any on-screen ads. “The key needs a new name,” Mr. Kostepen said. “It’s really a lifestyle token.” But not everyone is so sanguine about this approach. “I have seen scenarios in which drivers are offered coupons,” said Ron Montoya, the consumer advice editor for Edmunds.com, the automotive website. “It’s certainly feasible, but a lot of people might find this intrusive.” Advanced digital keys — whether a physical key or a smartphone app — could also be authorized for one-time use, allowing other people to enter vehicles but locking them out if they tried to do so again. Both Audi and Volvo are experimenting with systems that allow groceries and packages to be delivered to the trunks of cars, with the owner notified of each entry. Car keys could also be authorized and then de-authorized for rental car drivers, Mr. Green noted. “Ninety-five percent of the time, a car sits there doing nothing,” Mr. Green said. “There are huge possibilities when keys are digital.”
