Yes, lots of cars (particularly relatively new ones) allow Phone-As-Key, either via UWB (so the phone can stay in your pocket) or NFC (so the phone has to be placed on an NFC reader).

I agree. I consider phone-as-key to be a key. My car had this feature.

But the previous comment seemed to be about driving a car with no key.
