I love the entry on my '14 Jeep.

Walk up, put your hand in the handle, and it unlocks. Get in, press the button, and it starts. This is a fabulous "happy path" that is seamless.

Nothing happens without an actual action, but the actions are natural and organic to the task. The sensor is inside the door handle, combined with the key fob, and it just opens when you slide your hand into. It's a, truly, marvelous experience.

My keys stay in my pocket. Since I open the door for my wife anyway, it just works. (She can open the door, I just have to be close.)

Similarly, when we open the rear lift gate, it just opens. This also unlocks the rest of the vehicle (in contrast to if I push the gate open button on the fob, only the rear gate is open, not the rest -- which I find odd).

When leaving, I press a lock button on the handle to lock the car.

It's a great compromise, and works really well.
