PASS THE KEY If you share a car with Shaquille O'Neal or Verne Troyer, this is the invention you've been waiting for. Mercedes-Benz is introducing a high-tech SmartKey with its 2001 models that remembers exactly how you like to set up your car's interior: where you position the seat, at what angle you like the mirrors, your preferred air-conditioning setting.
