Re: The joys of automation...
As a wheelchair user I find proximity keys an absolute godsend, particularly in inclement weather.
The ability to wheel up to a car and open the door rather then wheel up, put brakes on, dig around in a bag for a key, unlock, open door, put key back in bag, load wheelchair, stagger round car, dig around for key again (how is it already at the bottom the bag?)...
last time I had a proximity key it was a gimmick - not any more.
