Remote Keys
Some cars use remote keyless entry, which unlocks the trunk and doors without using a physical key.

The car senses the signal and responds by locking the doors or opening the trunk. When the driver returns to the car they push the Request Switch again to lock it, or to start the engine if they're inside the car.
The keys transmit a 40-bit number when they're pressed, and the receiver in the car searches for that code to decide the best course of action. If someone stumbles across your key fob, they are able to "capture", retransmit, and open the vehicle even if it's dead. Certain car manufacturers have added a mechanical key to their key fobs, which can be used in the event that the electronic key isn't working.

Some key fobs have extra functions that can be activated by pressing multiple buttons, for example, the ability to roll down all windows or open a sunroof with just one button. For instance, the key fobs for Volvo SUVs and Ford pickups feature this function. It's not always marked but it is possible to trigger it by pressing the lock and unlock button on the key fob at the same time (within 10 seconds) while holding the unlock button down until all windows are rolled up or the sunroof is opened.
Certain car manufacturers, like Tesla and Hyundai utilize keyless entry with no fob. Instead, you can use an app on your smartphone to lock or unlock your vehicle. These kinds of systems are known as digital keys or phone-as-key apps and are generally less expensive than traditional key fobs. They also have their own problems.
