Default Still Running Absent Smartkey-liability?

I'm wondering how much easier it will be to poison your family by forgetting to turn the car off while it's in your garage...especially since the car stays on absent the smart-key.

Or are the TCHs so clean that this isn't a problem.
Obviously, the risk is reduced since the ICE engine does not need to run all the time, but nevertheless, it does turn on.

JERICHO, N.Y (1010 WINS) -- An octogenarian husband and wife found dead in their home were poisoned by a colorless, odorless gas that spewed from their car, police said Monday.

Morton Licht, 85, and Muriel Licht, 83, were killed by carbon monoxide from a car that was accidentally left running in the adjoining garage, Nassau County police said in a statement, citing preliminary autopsy results.
