Keyless ignition was initially available on luxury cars starting in the late 1990s .

From 2008 to 2018 , it became a standard feature on 62% of cars sold in the U.S. Now nearly every automaker offers keyless ignition as a standard or optional feature.

Most modern systems also include keyless entry, allowing you to enter the car without inserting a key.

Keyless ignitions are more vulnerable to hacking than those with conventional starting systems.

The increased commingling of car communication and personal smartphone data opens a vulnerability to data theft.

Automakers have responded to the problems by implementing a variety of solutions.

The NHTSA has introduced regulations that will compel automakers to include an automatic engine shutoff feature on keyless systems.
