Return to physical keys and mandate that they cost 20$
You ever lost a key and had to buy a new one? It's like 150$ for no reason!
Go to a key copier and make one as a backup I’ve never paid more than like $20 for a key literally ever.
Modern cars have keyless entry and push start so you can't simply make a backup key at a locksmith. They can duplicate the emergency key that serves as a backup for the door but it won't start the car because you need the code programmed in.
Even modern-ish cars that have a transponder key which looks like a "normal key" can cost over $100 to replicate, even without a key fob.
Damn we are living in two completely different worlds then. I completely forgot that cars are like that now. My truck is a 2002 Toyota tundra.
