The problem is no one can control this remotely. Some people would prefer your access to the vehicle be conditional.

Most cars still have a physical lock hidden under the handle for emergencies, like opening the car when the battery is dead.

All remote unlock is doing is adding an unnecessary insecure remote layer on top of that for convenience.

I think weex means loan vendors and carmakers would like your access to your car to be controlled by them not the driver -- so they can lock you out if you don't pay them every month.

Which is what I was replying to. They cant lock you out because your car has a physical lock, its just that they hide it these day.

Some cars don't even have physical keys to operate door locks or the ignition, only fobs and ignition buttons that require the presence of fobs.

As always, how you define the terms and conditions defines the outcome. If we take a broader view and include Mao, Stalin, Pot, Chavez etc this balance would come out very different.

The comment I replied to was a survey of internet users. So forgive me for thinking we might be talking about something closer to present day, where the right-wing is statistically more violent.

Didn't Splice start out as a versioning tool for Ableton? I think it wasn't very popular.

I remember when it was released, Splice has definitely been an exception :) I used it in the past to share projects with others, I had a bit of a mixed experience but anyway their effort was really appreciated at that time.
