Have you seen the new ‘ignition’ in the newest cars?

There is no key. The key fob fits into a recess in the dash, out of sight. There is a button to start and stop the engine. It also can be disabled electronically.

I was doing "telematics" work in 2003. Just a few keystrokes on my phone and the demo car in the parking lot executed a remote start. My customers were astonished. I'm all too aware of what can be done remotely to a vehicle bus. The nice folks at Wingcast kept me busy writing auto simulators for five models of Ford and 2 Infiniti cars that were just on the drawing board. I had to create hardware simulator/tester devices for the "OnStar" style telematics control unit. There is much room for mischief if you are so inclined.
