Although I imagine there’s a nonzero amount of people who have lost their keys already, and have been relying on the app rather than pay for a replacement.

- capeterson 6y agoThis could be (partially) remedied through periodically requiring the user to pair the key and phone (bluetooth, wifi?). It's kind of an annoying solution, but it sounds like a bit of a security risk to just let someone permanently stay logged in to an app like that without requiring authentication every once in a while.
- thinkmassive 6y agoCan you actually drive these vehicles without the keyfob present? Unlocking and starting from the app make sense, but that doesn’t mean it will allow you to put it in gear without a hardware transponder.
- Ma8ee 6y agoA lot of car pools rely on the vehicles being able to be driven with only the app.
- Cd00d 6y agoI have a 2021 Subaru and can start and lock/unlock the doors from a phone app. But, I cannot put the car in gear without the key present, and it will not run for more than 10 minutes without manually starting the car from the driver's seat with the key even if the engine is already running.
