Re: Control your car from your phone??? said by backphone driver :
Mmmmmmmmmm......I don't think so. You find your car stolen one morning.... You whip out your phone.... You find out your car is currently in motion down I-80 30 miles away....
SO you command the seat belts to unlock, command the door locks to lock, Make the airbag deploy in the driver's face and then accelerate the car before driving it into the end of a bridge 
Yeah, I know. Never happen. Still, makes for a good revenge thought

u just send a command from the cellphone to disable the car if some1 stole it, and the car send back it' location based on GPS data. |

Bristol, RI | Onstar now after a stolen car report slows the car down and turns the flashers on if the car is moving making it an easy target for police. The insurance discount for that should be huge. |

Or you lose your cell phone and, while driving on the highway, the person who finds it disables your engine. No thanks. |
