We keep living next to rivers because reliable water is the single most important consideration. Flooding happens. Most parts of the world independently developed sun and moon worship as well, and name colors in roughly the same order.

Remote start of any kind is a luxury and it's wild to me that someone would defend internet car controls as any way important or even desirable. That's what I'm talking about. Physical keys work totally fine and add like two seconds of time to the process.

It's a good thing we invented remote start at the same time as the car itself, I can't imagine the horror of only operating a motor vehicle I'm next to (let alone touching)

Which suck if you have windows higher than your head. Pullstring can be ten feet long and work just fine.

The two strings is so that you can keep them level when one side inevitably wears slightly longer than the other.

I recently set up a password with a 16 character max, alphanumeric only, no spaces. The service is in no way a security threat but still.
