I don’t know how extended this is, but apparently there are car makers selling cars with no keys. Instead you download a proprietary app and use it to access your car.

I like being practical and talking to a car to turn the volume up or down, to open the door or to turn the temperature higher are things I don’t need nor want. Give me mechanical levers, reachable stalks and no proprietary bloatware. I don’t need a movie theater on wheels.

Imagine an early 2000s car running on an electric motor. That’s what I want.

    they just boast about the app because they think it’s cooler.

    From a privacy and security perspective, I can’t think of anything worse. As well as that, how long will they support the app for?
