This is precisely what I mean by "brain dead". You'll forgive the hostility, but this is exactly what I'm talking about!

Nothing about this list of things REQUIRES proximity unlock. You can still require the user to push a button on their key fob to explicitly unlock the door.

I get the convenience factor, I do. If that's a feature you enjoy, then great! All the happiness for you. But give me the chance to opt out of something that is deeply broken from a security perspective.

Let me press a fscking button to unlock my car, instead of my car deciding I probably want it to unlock.
