Remote Engine Shut Off Is Too Cool!

I am going to school to be an auto mechanic.  I love cars and I love to learn how they work.  Part-time I work in a manufacturing plant for a luxury car maker.  They have made remote engine shut off an option in their 2009-10 automobiles.  Wow, that is just so cool!   They have cars that can almost park themselves, cars that talk, cars that practically drive on their own.  What in the world will they think of next.  I love cars and I love all of the new technology that has come along in the last several years or so.
