That's the problem with more and more car operation functions being controlled by electronics. There's also this case of a former employee at a dealership who still had access to the dealer's computers and decided to get back at the company by disabling customer vehicles. Wouldn't that be fun if it happened while you were cruising out on the interstate or on a busy expressway.

Same thing could happen with things like On-Star. Remember the commercial where Tiger Woods locked his keys in the car? So "somebody" out there is able to unlock (and also disable) your car. Seems scary to me. I'd much rather do without those "features" and just remember to pull the key, when I've finished my drive.
