Re: another worry
I have no doubt that in the very near future, optical scanners will be common-place in cars. That will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for thieves to steal a car. Barring that, a key board similar to an ATM, would make it exceedingly hard to steal a car. On the 3rd failed attempt the car would then shut down for a period of time.

My 14 year-old Skoda which I never clean.
My wife describes the mould along the window trims as my 'window boxes'.

Some friends of ours have such a car and have had no end of problems with it.
