Yes, that could work if you have a sensor attached to them (like tracking a cellphone.) Remembering where your keys are can make for an interesting memory game. If the car is there, and you haven’t left the house without it, then the keys should be around somewhere. Try thinking forward from the last time you drove the car. I pretty consistently leave mine in the laundry room when I come home from swimming, or set them down next to the stair rail when I am carrying in groceries. Last place I lost them was right on my desk (under a stack of mail.)
On the other hand, all that is a step above when I was still working – I locked them inside my company car so often, I was on a first-name basis with the local locksmith.
The last time I called him he said “I thought when I made you two sets of keys you were going to use one, and carry the other in your pocket.” He pointed through the window at both sets – one on the seat, the other on the console.
“Yes, I do that,” I said, “but you know women’s pants pockets are just for show. Every time I sit down, my key falls out.”
And then there was the time my keys were locked in my car in a dirt alley in SE DC during a thunder storm…. It’s a novella length story. Short version, skipping over the locksmith who was too scared to come to the address, the pit bull puppies and the house with roaches falling from the ceiling, after I bounced a brick off the van window, it took a hulking linebacker of a stranger with a fishing pole and lots of ingenuity to fish the door lock open for me.
My office was not happy that I was late to my next appointment.

There are electronic devises to attach to the car keys to ID location. I am low-tech. My keys have a bright pink ribbon on them. It works.
