Most still have a mechanical key for the door and a passive RFID reader in the car for the ignition.

So even with zero battery in the fob, you'll never be stranded.

The Corvette, as Jim pointed out, has a mechanical key for the rear hatch, then pull cables to 'pop' the doors, then slot for starting the car.

Welcome, most of you, to geriatrica. Enjoy your stay
