The vehicles available in the Indian car market today are equipped with every modern feature that while these features enhance the immersive experience of the driver and the occupants, some feel that these features are also adding to the complexities within the automobile sector. There is no doubt that the modern technologies in the car have not only improved the features but also enhanced the safety of the vehicle.
Take for example the push-button start/stop system, which is a common feature nowadays, and is offered by almost every car manufacturer (at least in the higher spec). While this feature can be considered as an intuitive feature for the driver, many may not be aware that this feature also provides safety to the car owner.

Altroz stolen from this feature
You must be aware that Tata Motors offers a passive keyless entry facility in the Altroz, which does not require any key to enter or start the car. Entry into the car is handled by a request sensor on the driver’s side door handle, while the ignition is controlled by push-button start.

To use these features, the car key must be in a location where it can be activated. Therefore, when thieves got out of the car after traveling a long distance, they could not enter the car, as the doors would automatically close after being idle for some time. After reporting the incident to the showroom, the sales executive lodged a complaint with the nearby police station, and a few hours later the car was found parked somewhere on someone’s information.
