And don't even get me fucking started on proximity locking. Absolute nightmare.

The system that has an imperfect grasp on basic necessities like food distribution should have even more control - tech nerd fuckers

Aren't like half these social maladapts praying for the zombie apocalypse or some sort of similar culling event? I hope there's a false alarm and they get shotgunned in the face by some paranoid prepper when they approach a house with a generator to barter a cup of electricity to start their phone

I mean, fobs do have value, but keyless entry is sketch and probably too much (wonder if keyless entry could be patched based eg. on some timing check so that even if the thief uses a range extender the timing would be off too much and it would lock out)

Returning to physical keys is great because it makes stealing cars easier

Too many potential inconveniences. Why not have a car that does facial recognition of the people who approach it? If the facial recognition is accurate enough, that would eliminate the keys, and you wouldn’t have to worry about battery.

Ah shoot, but what if you wanted to share the vehicle with someone temporarily?

On second thought, keys have worked great for thousands of years for controlling physical access.

crazy idea: give us both options
