Does it lock by itself?

Apparently modern cars lock automatically, when you are driving and when you leave the car. Does the Slate do this? I never lock my vehicles at home, and often leave the keys in them. Last thing i want is to carry a key fob all the time just so i do not get locked out. In a public parking lot of course I want to lock it, and would take the fob with me.

My 2015 Kia will refuse to lock if the fob is in the car, and refuse to let the trunk lid latch if the fob is in the trunk. I expect the Slate will do the same.

I had an Altima that would lock automatically when you walked the fob out of range of the car. I hated it and haven't found such a feature on any other car.

Most cars will auto-lock while driving; I don't see any problem with that.

Most modern cars do also let you turn off the auto door locking if you don't like it.

OUr Bolt starts honking till you come and get the keys. Its probly a setting but since I seldom drive it it keeps me from leaving them in a unlocked car.. LOL

Wow, more automation I didn't know existed. I'll be very happy to skip stuff like this too.
