There are cars where you can walk up with your arms full and the boot opens itself  and closes automatically . To paraphrase an old two Ronnies joke,' If I was as rich  as Elon Musk ,Id be even richer than Elon Musk because I'd wouldnt pay extra to have that system.'  .
 
Have these people never heard of Home delivery. You dont even need to walk to the car let alone unlock it. ;D

I totally agree. IMHO Keyless is a sales gimmick and not a convenience. If you can not be arsed to put a key in the slot and turn it ... *rolls eyes*

I don't know who came up with the clever phrase: "A solution in search of a problem

However, it fits keyless entry perfectly!

I don't agree. Since I got used with keyless (one of the first keyless, in 2010), I find it extremely more comfortable and easy. For example, with old keys you had to remember to put the key in a safe place (pocket, handbag ...) each time you parked the car, and recover it when you got back to the car. Even with your hand full and under the rain.
With keyless system, my key is always in a safe place, I don't need to put and get it each time.
I often would like the same keyless system at my house's door!  ;)

That's the catch exactly!

If people come to me fawning about how they can control their whatever by an "app" on their mobile phone I simply tell them:

Good for you!  You - and who else???

(it is very easy to get carried away by all the "convenience" these modern gadgets offer; I simply try to remind the acolytes of the fact that the "S" in "IoT"  (Internet of Things) stands for "Security") ;)

Quote from: Dougla Adams
There were so many different ways in which you were required to provide absolute proof of your identity these days that life could easily become extremely tiresome just from that factor alone, never mind the deeper existential problems of trying to function as a coherent consciousness in an epistemologically ambiguous physical universe. Just look at cash point machines, for instance. Queues of people standing around waiting to have their fingerprints read, their retinas scanned, bits of skin scraped from the nape of the neck and undergoing instant (or nearly instant-a good six or seven seconds in tedious reality) genetic analysis, then having to answer trick questions about members of their family they didn't even remember they had, and about their recorded preferences for tablecloth colours. And that was just to get a bit of spare cash for the weekend. If you were trying to raise a loan for a jetcar, sign a missile treaty or pay an entire restaurant bill things could get really trying. Hence the Ident-i-Eeze. This encoded every single piece of information about you, your body and your life into one all-purpose machine-readable card that you could then carry around in your wallet, and therefore represented technology's greatest triumph to date over both itself and plain common sense.

Just something else to go wrong and cause worry. An unnecessary invention.
