Keys have existed for over 4000 years.

Stop trying to reinvent shit that isn’t broken.

If they make everything incredibly complicated people will either throw their hands up and become completely dependent on company controlled techs or spend 16 hours a day keeping up with minute tech changes. Either way we’ll lack the ability toe control our lives.

This is the dumbest thing. I had to rescue a Tesla owner a couple of weeks ago, she was stuck in our lobby because her phone battery died and she couldn’t open her car so I went back to get her a charger

Yeah I couldn’t believe how insane it was. Her charger was, of course, inside the car….

At least she was nice and brought me cookies the next time I saw her :3

Return to physical keys and mandate that they cost 20$

You ever lost a key and had to buy a new one? It’s like 150$ for no reason!

Go to a key copier and make one as a backup I’ve never paid more than like $20 for a key literally ever.

Modern cars have keyless entry and push start so you can’t simply make a backup key at a locksmith. They can duplicate the emergency key that serves as a backup for the door but it won’t start the car because you need the code programmed in.

Even modern-ish cars that have a transponder key which looks like a “normal key” can cost over $100 to replicate, even without a key fob.

Damn we are living in two completely different worlds then. I completely forgot that cars are like that now. My truck is a 2002 Toyota tundra.

At least with iphones if you have no signal and your phone is dead, you will still be able to use it to get into the car.

Me with a touchscreen phone, no cash, and since it was mentioned, and keeping everything in cloud storage (mostly because I dont have room for it all on my harddrive, but also so I can access it on multiple devices).

Not that you’re not right. The touchscreen is only because thats the only thing being made anymore anyway lol. I find cash inconvenient but you’re completely correct about it ideologically speaking.
