Drive without key?

None of the push button start cars I've ever driven lock you in park without the key. Nothing more than some annoyed beeps and a message on the dash saying the key isn't in.

You only need the key to start the car. You can start it, leave it in your garage and drive infinitely, as long as you don't shut it off. Then you're screwed without it because you can't restart the car.

I was under the impression if you put it in reverse or drive without the fob near it would kill the engine.. I always leave the car on and lock the doors and go into a store.. not anymore!!

The car will run and drive until you shut it off even without the key.

Back when i worked as a medic our ambulances had a "security mode." You would press the button on the console and remove the key, but the truck would continue to run, but if you touched the brake pedal to shift the truck into gear without inserting the key and turning off the security button, the engine would cut out and the alarm would go off.
I can't imagine that would be a difficult modification for a car with keyless start to do if the key wasn't in range. I wonder if anyone makes such a solution. There are some situations where i would like to keep the car running during a brief stop.
Some police cars are also equipped with a hidden button to disable the shift interlock so you can't shift out of park without knowing where the secret button is located.
