That's keyless entry.

Keyless ignition merely makes it possible to drive your car away from
where the keys are, so you can't re-start it to drive it back and
collect those keys.

Ho yus, my wife once set off on a two hour trip without
the key fob because some idiot had it in his trouser pocket.
Luckily said idiot discovered said fob within a few minutes
and was able to phone her and get her to come back.

Doesnt work with the dinosaurs that are too stupid to have a mobile phone.
