i got angry with my front door

technology is a wonderful thing. it makes all our lives easier than it used to me, but it boggles the mind that sometimes it is implemented half way through, and that really sucks.
i have a routine, i walk towards my car, press the unlock, listen to the reassuring click sound that tells me the car has been unlocked and i open the door and get in. same when i get down from the car. i click the car and wait to hear it click back to know the door is locked and we are all good.
today morning i had my hands full of stuff and was a bit preoccupied when i ran out of the apartment, closed the front door and locked it. dammit, it did not lock; so i tried it again. still unlocked. i was starting to get annoyed at the door. why was it not locking itself. after staring daggers at the poor door for a few seconds it struck me that this was my apartment front door not my car door. thats why it was not clicking back at me when i clicked on the lock button. DUH!
i proceeded to sheepishly put the door key into the lock, turn the key locking the door, looked both to my left and right to make sure non of my neighbors had witnessed this very embarrassing moment of me clicking my front door and headed to my car which responded much better and as expected to my unlock clicks than my front door had.
this got me thinking. why don’t they have the same mechanism for buildings that they have for automobiles. its a very useful technology that can be used in many different area’s. why was its implementation stopped at just automobiles?
am i the only one this has happened to? i would love to hear if anyone of you have experiences something similar.
Don't be a stranger. Tell me what your think and leave me a comment. Trust me, you'll feel better!

O.o
dude, I’m pretty sure you can get remote controlled door locks … even if it’s not on the market I’m sure you can make one yourself
you know what. i should totally try and get one built..
I agree with the idea of an open design model for Open/Shut/Start/Stop mechanisms for cars and houses, to be followed by all vendors.
After a hard day and a long commute I have found myself in the other end of day position of trying to use the car remote to open the house door.
