Mazda Switches To USB Keys

kv9 writes "The new Mazda Sassou while being 'cool and promoting a positive state of mind' has a most important feature, that every geek will love. Instead of the classic key it uses a usb flash drive for starting up. The key can also be used to transfer things like driving instructions or music to the car's hard drive."

Re:great, another point of failure

Your sarcastic reply fails to account for the simple fact that most people never have their keys run over by another vehicle, because most people aren't stupid enough to drop their keys somewhere where someone else is going to run them over. How many people do you personally know that have ever had their keys run over? I bet you can't even find statistics on this sort of thing because it almost never happens.

I think it's obvious that the five people EVER that have had their keys run over are just going to have to suck it up and deal with the whole USB car key thing.

Overly technical solution for you

Please, you are trying so hard to make a problem you are making yourself look stupid.
