"Electrical trumps mechanical"
Hi all -

I was reading an comment/article on Slashdot today, http://tech.slashdot.org/story/14/05...n-key-just-die, in which the author is discussing whether or not the ignition key for cars are going out of style.

While the article is interesting in general, one quote stood out to me: " The push-button ignition isn't perfect, but we know electrical trumps mechanical more often than not."

This peaked my curiosity. As robot builders, engineers, designers, etc, do you agree or disagree with the authors statement? Why or why not?
