You can already do this with a Tile. Leave a Tile in your wife's car and every phone with the Tile app in her vicinity will report her location to you.

So effectively none. I've never even heard of Tile before this. Leveraging the whole Apple ecosystem for this sounds a lot more promising and will probably kill any competitor that depends on installing an app, even if that supports multiple platforms.
