Why keyless systems are stupid.

He bragged about his $2 key, but many keys are $100 or more. I'm on my
fourth keyless car. I like it. Never had a problem. Nice to not have
to fumble to unlock it by finding a keyhole in a storm. It senses I'm
near, lights the handle and puddle lights and I touch a button on the
handle as I open the door.

He talking about regular keys.

If you want a car that needs keys that cost 100's of dollars, so be it.

If the battery goes out in the key, what happens ?

Yes, but not many cars have "regular" key any more. You don't have a
choice if the car maker uses a chipped key. They don' t have a
battery, but if you lose it or the chip is damaged, big buck for a new
one.

IMO, the guy in the video likes living in the 19th century. His
choice.
