What is the purpose of the Audi A1 keyless start feature?

I'm considering purchasing an Audi A1, but I'm unsure about the keyless start feature. Can someone explain its purpose and how it works?

The keyless start feature on the Audi A1 is designed to provide convenience and improved security. Instead of having to physically insert a key into the ignition, you can simply press a button to start the car. This reduces the risk of car theft as there is no physical key to steal.

The keyless start feature also allows for hands-free entry and start. As long as the key is near the car, you can unlock and start the car without taking the key out of your pocket or bag. This is particularly useful when your hands are full or when it's raining.
