Every car I've driven with keyless ignition (which seems to be the standard now) refuses to lock if it detects the key inside the car, even if you try to do it manually by pressing the lock button, so hopefully this is a solved problem now.

I've honestly never heard of self-locking cars doors, that's a crazy idea.

Our new keyless ignition vehicle wouldn't fully close the hatch with the doors locked and the keys in the car. It would go down half way and play the "I can't close" noise.
