A pirated car would just be a more free way to access the $10k/yr pay wall you live your life behind. Car-dominant infrastructure is vendor lock in.

RF range is very limited and there is no feedback of success/failure or current state. My neighbour’s RF remote start wouldn’t work through 2 townhouses. It also doesn’t work from high-rises or office building.
How often do you lose cell reception in a parking lot? (Mostly open space with few things to interfere with cell signal).
You are aware that there are rf solutions that provide feedback? Not saying range limitations don’t exist, but there are solutions that claim to provide a fair reach.
I am aware. I didn’t think it was necessary to explain that it’s possible to make an data stream reliable, but doing so requires a lot more power which isn’t great for a coin-cell battery.

If you’re in a basement, you don’t need remote start. It’s really only for when your car is exposed to the elements.
Basement parking garages are not necessarily heated so remote start could still be useful during cold weather.
Not heated, but slightly insulated. When I was in Manitoba, that meant most parking structures were roughly 15°C-20°C than outside.
RF range deployed by most vehicles, yes. Not all RF is equal in range capability.
See “Frequency bands” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_frequency
I’m very aware of RF bands. I didn’t think I needed to explain how RF worked, why the range of a car remote is so limited, and why is impractical to use a lower band. As the frequency gets lower, the data throughout decreases and the size of the antenna should increase.
