which can be confusing to a person renting a car, who gets in a panic

Or, just anyone who buys a new car. They generally don't give lessons with the new car.

I have been noticing several TV ads out now that show the person starting the car buy pushing a button on the steering wheel. The ads are npt necessarily car ads, and I forget what they were advertising. But, I've noticed them dealing with Lexus, Kia, Toyota, and even some GM models. I've never actually seen such a car. Are they on the arket?

Yes, our Toyota Venza does not have a key, only the push button. You keep a fob on you (or in my case in my purse) and that sends the signal to the engine. You step on the brake, hit the button, and the car starts. There is no key for even the doors.
