Can a car with one-button start be started if the key is not in the car?

If the one-button start key is not in the car, the car can be started if it has a remote start function. One-button start means you don't need to insert the car key. For example, some BMW models with smart start require the ignition key to be inside the car for ignition. If the key is taken out of the car, the dashboard will display a warning that the key is not in the car, and the engine will shut off after driving a certain distance. The principle of remote start is to send a signal to the car via the smart key to start the engine remotely. Nowadays, higher-end cars are equipped with remote start functionality, and some models can even be controlled via a mobile app, allowing not only the engine to be started but also the air conditioning to be adjusted and the car's condition to be checked.
