Random questions looking for answers
1. When the skeeters come out this summer can they spread the coronavirus?
2. If you're driving along in a pushbutton to start car and you throw the fob out the window, what happens to the car? Does it stop? or keep going?"timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

2. It bongs uncontrollably at you until you stop and you can't start it up again after you stopped it until you find another.
So a friend told me.I still call it The Jake.

Thanks BMills. My wife asked me but I had no idea. Apparently her friend got in an argument with the boyfriend and she threatened to throw the fob out of the car for some reason. I didn't want to try it with my own key as it's expensive to replace.

Just step out of the car while it's running and take a few steps away. I can't even walk to back to the tailgate of my truck without setting it off. Which is a good thing as I've been known to set things down on the bumper or bed rails and forget them before I drive away. Would suck to set the key fob there, drive away and have it fall off somewhere without warning.

Now try setting the wife on the tailgate and driving away to see what happens.

I dunno why you just reminded me of this with that but I recall there was a dude on TGR whose gf was so small that the ABS system in the passenger seat was disabled when she sat in it, or the seatbelt was tall for her and cut across her neck, or something?
So its a valid threat if you're trying to win an argument about something?
Anybody have an idea on the mosquito question? Or do I need to PM Summit?"timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

The car will continue to drive even though the fob is removed when running

Goddamn it. Now I'm confused. I thought there had been a movement to redirect all bug related PMs to DSM?
We've got a car with a key fob you need to have in it to start it. Driving back from a Moab trip we realize, at a gas station, that we can't find the damn key. Hours from Moab, hours from home. Car will drive fine without the key if you turn it on and then take the key out of it, but if you turn it off you can't start it again. Frantically ripped the car apart trying to find it before we turn the car off for gas and the car becomes an immovable sculpture.
There was a slight bit of panic, I'll admit, before we found the key. The easy way to tell if you have the key is to turn the car off and try to turn it back on. If you can, you have the key. if you can't, well then you're fucked.
Luckily, we PM'd Rontele and he knew where to look. Genius. Found the key, got the gas, got home, learned a damn lesson.

Seems like they should be able to charge your credit card immediately for a new fob, alert law enforcement, and auto-pilot that fucker to the dealer to get a new fob. Then also have a white person in a polo from a high tech office barge in on speakerphone “mr Smith, we’ve noticed that you have operated your vehicle without a fob, we are redirecting your car to a dealer”

My group once lost the car key in the middle of a white rim trip.
Wife had been driving, we stopped for lunch and to explore a bit, and when it was time to roll again, she had no idea where the key was. There were a few moments of "oh my god we are so fucked". Turns out, she had walked away from the group to take a piss, and the keys were on the ground by her piss spot (don't know if she dropped them, set them down, or if they fell out of a pocket)."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

Wife's car starts with a fob that she keeps in her purse. I'm driving and drop her at the grocery store, I continue onto the car wash. No beeping about the fob being away from the car. I'm at the car wash and just about to turn it off when I see the warning on the dash.
House was less than a mile away, so it wouldn't have been a huge problem. We've had similar instances since then as well. I should probably enable the beeps/warning somehow.

What was the problem they were trying to solve when the eliminated the whole "stick key in car" thing?

Theft. Didn't work. New theft methods. They also gotta have a reason to charge more.

Yup I know. The car industry didn't expect hackers. It is a fashion industry mostly. Follow trends.
