Car key technology has come a long way from the days when keys were "little more than a ground sheet metal blank."According to Dave Proefke, who led one of GM's development teams, their new smart key “does a lot of thinking for you. It tries to determine your intended action and perform that action for you.”
Hmmmm... that's progress I suppose. But why does this make me feel so paranoid?
From The Detroit Bureau:
A Car Key That Thinks For You
...A new “smart” key that will be introduced with the 2011 Buick LaCrosse is designed, among other things, to prevent accidental lock-outs, an unfortunately common occurrence and one of the most common reasons why owners of GM vehicles call OnStar, which can remotely unlock car doors for subscribers.
