Smart keys in the car: is there a need?

There are a huge number of things that are technologically feasible, but of little use. For example, instant noodles can be created with mint, watermelon and melon flavors - but there is unlikely to be active demand for such a product unless they are gastronomic aesthetes. A similar thing happens with many electronic innovations in the automobile. Many are useful, but some remain a dusty bling you bought at the market. We tell you why we think a proximity key for a car is the same as pouring a beet frosting out of diesel oil.
A little bit of theory: contactless access is a popular feature, the car is controlled by radio waves through a small key fob.
The technology makes the process of starting the car and opening doors as simple and accessible as possible, but how useful is it in practice? Purely technically, the system is implemented perfectly: the innovative system almost never fails.
Let's look at an example. During a test of several new cars with new keyless entry systems, the drivers moved to each other to compare the tags and different versions of cars. Proximity keys were left in the car, and it happened that the key fob was left in the driver's pocket. In the end a lot of people forgot about the key fob and one driver would run from one car to another with a key fob.
 
Thus, if you don't turn off the car during stops or transfers, you can forget all about the key: if the car was started with the right tag, the access system will allow you to go in the car without a key or with a tag from another car. And if you need to turn the car off, you'll need your original unique key.
If you lose your key inside the car, you have no way of knowing if it's still inside the car, or if you really lost it. You won't know until you turn the engine off and on.
So, proximity keys replaced the need for physical, tangible and real keys: saved us the trouble of carrying them around but created other problems (more details https://www.cars-directory.net/problem-solving/). Moreover, even with an electronic key you still have to open the door, push the start button to start the engine (a related procedure to turn the key). But if the key is physical, many drivers are much more convenient to start the engine, that way you know where you left the key, losing it will be a problem.
Doors opening automatically is really convenient. But today's proximity access system violates the holistic and established paradigm of cause and effect. It's not the key that contacts the lock and opens it, it's as if it's the other way around.
Conclusions: To each his own, however, in our opinion, with proximity access you are doomed to constantly worry about where the key tag is when the engine is already started. Even if you put the key in your bag or glove box, the engine will continue to run. The proximity key will be forgotten in the car and you will leave without noticing that the car has not entered alarm mode.
