I had thought you offered a thorough exploration of the possible countermeasures, but you missed jgrahamc's suggestion below of adding an accelerometer to the fob. Only unlock when motion is detected. What are you thoughts? Seems that keys are incredible idle when sitting on the kitchen counter, and never perfectly idle when walking to approach your car.
- tomalpha 9y agoI think that’s a neat idea. In my defence, I might put that under the some-kind-of-switch-to-turn-it-off category but only in hindsight ;) Like latency-measurement though I wonder how robust it would be to the vagaries of modern life both in terms of reliability - potential moving parts - and in the face of user expectations - “I keep having to jiggle my keys to open my door” or worse, the dreaded “it doesn’t work!”. Where doesn’t work == doesn’t work how I think it should.
