I can't help but notice the new car ad stating it's possible to start
and stop your engine using your smart phone from anywhere.

Now who in their right mind thinks this is a good thing?

When it's 20 below outside, starting your car and having the heater
running for 5 or 10 minutes before you have to go out and jump in it, is
a lot more civilized and comfortable than is the alternative.
Same story when it's 105 degrees outside. Start the car and let the AC
run for a few before you even go out. Very handy feature.

Already available on a keyfob. No need for a phone, geez to me it's just
plain stupid abd fraught with problems for no need.
