I believe that wireless electronic unlocking of cars has always been a bad idea. Ever since my neighbors got a new Ford that included a Start button with wireless unlocking a decade or so ago, I’ve been suspicious of the technology. Although many hardware based locks aren’t so hard to overcome either, physical contact between key and device will always be more secure than remote unlocking.

We had a whole series of cars robbed on my street last week 100% of them were the "proximity keyfob" types. I would be more excited about the shift to electric if it was just the motors and not the endless stream of marginally helpful but insecure and expensive "features" you are forced to buy on new cars now. I mean if manual window winders are cheaper and use less resources, I want those. It's impossible to get them on front doors now.
