    The alternative is… The car auto locks itself? What if you leave your key inside?

    No. It’s not on the company to EVER lock the car because consequences can be deadly.

      I had a car that would auto lock the doors.

      It was also a keyless start, so the fob may be built totally differently.

      That being said, if your keys were detected, it would prevent the auto lock.

      It’s a less secure default, but at the same time people would be pissed if they had to call a lock smith all the time.
