Keyless Entry
Twisting keys in locks is disappearing from the past, and a lot of new cars now offer keyless entry. You can unlock your car by pressing the button on the fob, or by grabbing the door handle. This allows you to keep your hands free and not have to dig around in your bag searching for your keys.
The system works because the car transmits a radio signal which is then picked up and sent back by the key fob. The vehicle will then recognise this and either open the doors, or turn on the interior lights (if the system is configured to do so).
Certain types of keyless entry don't use any fobs at all and instead use an application on a smartphone that can transmit signals directly to the car. This is also known as a phone-as-key or a digital-key. It can be a great way to let other drivers access your car without having to hand over the keys.

The system ensures whether the correct key was used to start the engine, and, if it wasn't then the immobilizer will be activated. This prevents the vehicle from starting by preventing different actions, like turning off the ignition coil, injectors or fuel pump.

Modern keyless entry systems are protected by a variety of sensors, which includes the door handle detector. The sensor is situated in the two front doors and it waits for an event to trigger it. For instance, it could trigger the key being inserted, or a button that is pressed on the tailgate. If the trigger is recognized by the car's control system, it will unlock the doors and start the engine.
