Where will we put the "key"?

[FutureBoy]

Tesla already lets you 'lend' the car to other people through the phone app and check up on it that way, too.

I don't know how granular these are, tho.

If that’s working then the rest is just a software problem. ??

Just need to get Tesla’s attention to implement whatever other features we desire.

It doesn't need to identify faces to know not to run over an obstacle.

Studies show horses can't identify faces, so...

Really? What about dogs, they seem to. Maybe horses can identify people better with smell or hearing and don’t need vision to do it. Not that this is germaine to the topic but it is interesting.

Dogs, cats, and crows seem to manage us monkey faces. Horses might attach more value to groups than individuals, which might explain it. Their visual acuity is weird. I don't know, we'll see if this data gets repeated over time or not.

While I am more likely to be carrying my cellphone than a wallet I do not always carry either of them. Most times my wallet is in my truck. Sometimes I leave my phone in the truck also because it would get damaged by whatever I'm doing. My metal key is the most durable small identity device and I carry it. I could probably carry a key card and not damage it just as easy but really hope I don't have too.
Does anyone know... how do I lock the vehicle if I'm leaving my phone and key card in it? Say I'm going kayaking...

Just turn the Tesla app off, and the phone is no longer a key.

I'm sure they'll have a place on the dash to put the key card, or heaven forbid they go with a fob like the S/X. I've only had to use my key card when lending my M3 to family members. Tried through the app once, but it's a hassle unlocking the car and remote starting it for them whenever they need it haha!

I thought you could temporarily authorize their phone?

I believe that's a recent addition maybe in the last few months. I haven't tried it yet but hope it works well!

I would like to see something inventive. The CT has already shattered the box in design, why should its key be anything overly simplistic. Too, I would like the valet function to be on my iPhone, where I can simply say into my phone, "set valet 1" or "set valet 2", and my CT allows for another driver, and my presets limit the function of my CT - possibly even locking out certain tablet and other functions.
