If it's not giving honest answers that implies it's purposely being deceitful, which it isn't capable of. Right?

Because historically, and I would argue should still, refer to very limited hardware, in terms of memory, processing power, and energy.

This is what antilock Brakes in cars prevent, they pulse the brakes to allow the tire to regain traction, preventing slippage and loss of control.

I have not used homekit, but from some searches it only seems to be a non-rigamarole process to add someone as a homekit user if the other person has an apple device? Also, is the Internet required to enroll someone?

> ones where the key holder is so incapacitated that they would be unable to share a physical key.

I don't need to be conscious or my phone have battery (or reception) to have someone take a key from my pocket.

> Also, every implementation of CarKit Car Keys I have seen is the same as HomeKit home keys: there is a backup. Either a physical key, PIN, fob, or card.

I was responding to gp who wanted none of this as it all defeats the security they desired. A 1-factor physical authentication token as a backup would be suitable for nearly all edge cases I can think of. As long as the person carries it, but then we are at worst where we are today, at best I could potentially authenticate or add someone from afar.

I'm not saying that smart locks aren't useful, just that they can't only be "smart", which I assume you would agree with since you brought up things currently having backup methods?

We'll have to agree to disagree. I don't believe that this will be possible in many situations. What if I'm not near my car? What if my phone is dead? What if my car's battery is dead and it needs jumped?

I'm also just cynical that the automakers or app developers are able to not enshittify the process.

What if when I set my wife up I added her as a user but not admin and now she can't share with someone without having to involve me, which may not be physically possible in all circumstances.

> They call you an ambulance.

You don't call an ambulance to take a drunk person home. Calling a taxi when there is someone able to drive is a waste of money and a huge inconvenience the next day to retrieve the car.

You also can't call an ambulance in the wilderness.

I also meant injured in a more broad sense. What if I just have a bad headache or migraine? I don't want to be fumbling with my phone or car electronics trying to navigate adding someone.

What if I'm not able to add them as an authenticated user or authentic myself to let them drive, e.g. I'm injured or very drunk?

You don't have to understand how something amuses someone to understand that it amuses them. You also don't have to belittle people to ask them why they are amused.

This might be close, but I don't believe he offers a kit.

Many county government agencies don't work with hams anymore because they have sat links and other communication available to them. I'm sure as technology progresses and it becomes feasible and affordable to give individual first responders satcom abilities, but I'm not sure that every person with a cell phone will be able to stabily access satcom in an emergency for a while yet.
