I will challenge you on one point: Keyless ignitions are kind of cool (I own a vehicle with one), but the mechanisms of enabling the two stages of aux power before "engine on" are cumbersome. The behavior of the button changes with whether you're in N or D, in addition to whether your foot is on the pedal or not.
Knowing what state the vehicle will be in with a keyed ignition is much easier.

- dmritard96 12y agothats an interesting thought. My grandmother hasn't had issues lol but more relevantly, I think you are talking about the fact that without aux, power steering, power brakes, airbags, etc. won't work? I can kinda see that, but seems like there are other solutions to that. Say I was driving down the road at 40, and my ignition indicated that the car was to be turned off, you would think some little state machine (or even stateless) would say, oh hey, we are actually moving....maybe don't turn of aux power?
