The list below identifies most of the current vehicles that have keyless/proximity systems either as standard or optional features:

Acura - RL
Audi - A6, A8, Q7, S6, S8
Bentley - Continental GT, GTC, Flying Spur
BMW - 3, 5, 6, 7, B7, M5, M6, X5

Toyota - Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius
Volkswagen - Touareg
Volvo - S40, S80, V50

Though the list is dominated by higher end vehicles, we see a number of 'bread and butter' vehicles such as the Nissan Maxima, Altima and Toyota Camry; and even 'economy' vehicles such as the Nissan Sentra and Versa on the list.

The answer to the question 'will all cars become keyless' is likely "No".

Many industrial vehicles such as street sweepers etc will likely use the simple mechanical key systems for some time to come. However, for the majority of passenger cars, trucks and SUV the answer is not 'if' but 'how soon'.

As these vehicles enter the used car market, used car dealers will often only be providing 1 key with the sale. If you have one of these vehicles and find yourself with only 1 key...it is time to call Pop-A-Lock to get a second or third 'credential' for your vehicle. The cost difference between 1 extra key and replacing your last 'lost' key can be staggering.
