All the stories have a common thread. Husband and wife head off to go shopping or other errands. Both 'think' they have a remote key in their pocket/purse but only one of them actually does. The person with the key exits the car while the other spouse drives away, only to have the car stop when out of key range or refuse to restart at their destination a mile down the road because no key is within range.
Nope, not a feature I want in a car. I also don't want touch screen radio or HVAC controls. I demand a tactile feel when making adjustments at highway speed.
I may never be able to buy a new car again! As I told my wife yesterday; I am quickly turning into a grumpy old man.
