> Modern cars unlock automatically if you try to open the door while the keyfob is in range

Oh, no. Yet another reason not to buy a new car. (Hope it can be disabled in the preferences somewhere.)

Technology trying to guess what I want is almost never a good thing. It'll get it right 80% of the time, but that last 20% is a killer, and means I'll have to monitor it carefully all the time.

My aunt had an older Prius, and sometimes when she locked it and walked away it would still see the fob and unlock itself. She had to carefully sneak away from the car to make sure it stayed locked.
