In 1900, they had added a range of automobiles to their line of manufacturing. Early models resembled horseless carriages and were steered with a tiller. During this period, Peugeot also branched out into motorcycles.

Transponder
Before transponder keys was commonplace in cars, it was fairly easy for thieves a car. They could simply force the ignition switch to the on position and then start it up. However, this is no longer possible as most modern cars have an anti-theft device that has security chips embedded in the key.

The chip has a unique number that is used as a "password" to open the engine. When you insert the key into your ignition, the chip transmits the password to the receiver in your car's immobilizer. If the code is correct, the car will start up and you'll be off to the races.

The fob will then send an ID code to the vehicle every time a key is put into the ignition barrel. If the code matches, the engine will start.
Some key fobs even include an emergency button that can be pressed in the event of an emergency.
