Keyless Ignition And Accidental Carbon Monoxide Exposure

It seems there are 2 types of people. People who lose their keys and people who don't. In my experience. Now it may be true that there are 2 groups of those with keyless ignitions - some leave the car running. I wonder if they, in the past, were key-losers. Those who leave the car running are in danger of carbon monoxide poisoning if the car is shut in. Perhaps it's better to have keys! And put a whistle-response alarm on the key ring. Poisoning is way worse than key hunting right?

Why would anybody be so irresponsible as to leave their car running?

@Jabo The issue is, there is no key to turn. So it is way easier to leave the car running.

Aren't there some compounds that absorb carbon monoxide? It would solve both problems.

I once left my car running for four hours and the keys were in. But that's because the keys were stuck in the ignition and I couldn't take them out. Once, I just forgot to turn them to the off position.

Wow I had no idea that could even happen. I remember the hype when the keyless ignition technology first came out, back then I'm sure very few expected there's a risk of this thing happening.

That's very trusting! I take my keys and lock the doors even when I just go to pay for petrol (gas)!
