A lot of modern cars have the ability to unlock and control features with a cell phone app. No different than me controlling my Nest from my phone or my Ring doorbell, or when we had ADT we could arm/disarm it the same way.

The construction equipment I work on is going the same way. It’s not bad to work on with an understanding of systems
