    How are they going to drive my car without the key fob?

    Don't need the fob to shift out of park when the car is in ready.

    When the nearest person is miles away in the country, it's just stupid to worry about locking the vehicle.

    It's a common thread topic: someone wants to do something iffy, responders try to talk them out of it, get dumped on.
    Also effects everybody else's insurance rates.

    Am I missing the obvious? Use the physical key from the fob to lock the doors!

    I'm not going to do that for the 30 seconds it takes to check my mailbox.
    This is getting more stupid by the second.

    Then why did you post the complaint about not being able to lock the doors?
