Keyless Entries Fail In Las Vegas On Friday

Posted by timothy on from the report-in-las-vegas-what-is-your-status dept.

Hoompini-Ting writes "Some accuse area 51, but in any case many folks were stranded when keyless locks failed or their car computers malfunctioned. No technical explanation but I'm sure slashdotters have theories. Similar to the failure in Seattle 3 years ago. See the Las Vegas Review-Journal for more details."

    They are building keyless entry systems without physical keys as a backup measure?

    Didn't we learn our lesson about manual over-rides long ago?

    My car alarm will also go off if I use the key in the door -- but turning the key in the ignition will stop it.

    That doesn't seem like unreasonable behavior.
