I have a keyless fob. It’s great. It’s also got an actual key in it in case the battery dies. Which it has before while I was out. It’s also a 2013 so this isn’t new tech.
Using a phone app as the main or sole method of unlocking (I saw the card bit, that’s good) is insane. If your phone dies, if you lock yourself out of your phone, drop it in a puddle, if you get locked out of the app, if the app messed up, etc. All ways to keep you out of your car. Which in many cases is a safety and health risk.
Right. I can just imagine being somewhere at 2 am trying to find a way to charge my phone so I can open my car, while also i can’t even call an Uber or something because my phone is dead.
That’s a good point. I could envision myself being complacent or forgetting to bring or losing the card, but I suppose most people would just stick it in their wallets.

If the battery dies you can access it without a key.

That’s what the card is for.

Yep!
like those poor souls burned alive cause the doors on that shit heap wouldn’t open
Don’t know anything about that but the doors have mechanical latches
