You want to have to enter a password to use your car?

I guess it could help with climate goals, so I can see your point.

The main problem is not that a key is enough to use a car, but that owning the car is not enough to keep others out of it.

You can actually activate PIN-to-drive authentication on a Tesla. It's a useful added security feature for when you need someone you don't know to use your car, like valet parking or leaving it at a body shop, but you can activate it as default as well.

I’d love it to have face detection as well. The cameras and the “GPU“ are there.

Would be actually useful for when you share a car with family members and want it to remember seat position when you are both in car. Strange they haven't done it, but headlines "Tesla facial recognition" would make few people wet their bottoms. Even on this forum.

I’m more of a mind to criticize it based on how often Technology fails.

Tesla has had multiple recall issues with the interface pad malfunctioning or not even turning on.

Meanwhile I can just put a key in my car and go. Sure, someone could steal the key - but statistically that is far less likely that a software or hardware failure.

Sure. Let the auto manufacturers also leak your biometrics along with all the shit they collect on you.
