Taillights Flash and horn goes off but car won't work

Has anybody had this?!?! I've tried to get to my car but none of the electrical stuff works. I have to manually open the car with the key.

You can take out your key then split the key-fob in the middle to access the battery. It happened to me one time and I was late to work...

I actually just changed the batter in the key itself. I had a coworker jump start the car and it worked. I'm guess I need a new car battery.

I find that the batteries on these modern cars dont last like they used to. To much other stuff to power than the simpler cars of back in the day I guess

How do you start the car with the key? In case the fob battery dies?
