Very cool but all I could think about was what outfit was she wearing to match that hideous (IMO) nail color

One more thing to break.

don't leave the lights on.
Drain the battery AND can't get in the car.

You can't leave the lights on. And the car is always on anyway, maintaining inside temperature. You just sit in it to drive it.

A friend of mine drives one of these awesome cars. The door handles freaked me out, in a good way. And when he then accelerated and it went SO FAST, SO QUICKLY, I couldn't help but clap like the "hercules! hercules!" lady.

These cars are so damn cool.

Wouldn't this encourage random strangers to try and open the door? What if you actually left the door unlocked?

I think it automatically unlocks when it detects transponder or bluetooth dongle nearby.
It' doesn't open just for anybody.

I'm sure there's a mechanical fallback. My Jetta has keyless entry (the doors unlock when you touch the handle so long as you have the key on you) and keyless ignition (again, the key has to be inside the car) but if the battery goes dead, you can still unlock the door the traditional way and the car can detect the dead key if you hold it against the steering column (RFID, I'm guessing).
