I will occasionally stop at a mailbox a block or two from my house to drop off outgoing mail, and when I get back in I always have a warning about the fob not being in the car. I can drive away no problem but the warning stays up for 5-10 seconds. I can't imagine the engine would stop once you can get it running.

The car won't stop running, it will just complain about the key not being in the car. It will let you drive away. (I tested this is my car when I got it - I started it, left my keys in the garage, then drove down the block and back).
