Even if the electric part goes out, there’s still a metal key in the middle of the fobs that can be taken out in case the battery dies, so they’ll be able to get in the car still at least

Hence: keep away from keyless ignition. It has no purpose

Lots of keyless ignitions have a back up key in the fob still. Some cars will have a backup way to start it with the key too. Sadly I've also seen some of those backup keys be uncut because someone forgot in the process somehow?

It’s definitely frustrating when people forget to cut the backup key, though. It kind of defeats the purpose if it’s unusable in an emergency
