A car key is a tool for starting the engine and unlocking the doors. Having driven for over a decade, I've seen all kinds of keys. From the old-fashioned mechanical keys that you had to insert and turn to start the car, to remote keys that unlock with just a button press, and now smart keys that automatically open and start the car as you approach—it's incredibly convenient. But losing your key or having it run out of battery is truly frustrating. Once, I forgot my key and was late for work; luckily, my wife had a spare. I recommend all car owners keep a spare key at home to avoid panic when problems arise.
