There are failsafes engineered into some aftermarket remote start systems that does make me wonder why manufacturers wouldn’t use it. They eliminate the liability. The remote start will only work if the car was parked with the parking brake engaged, getting out of the car, locking the doors with the remote, then shutting the engine off with the remote. If the doors are ever opened or unlocked before the remote start is pressed, or the car is not parked in that sequence, the remote start will not work.

This ensures the car remains in neutral and the parking brake engaged when the remote start is pressed.
