Computers have been in cars since the late 60's. There's a lot you could do now. Like starting your car from your phone by app. Wonder why no ones ever thought of this before.

Question is not why people havent thought of this, question would be; Is it practical?

Maybe to steal something from inside a car. But that would be an important think and there would be a need to plan the attack. I don't think a valuable item would be transported in a vulnerable car or that people who could actually use a system in a cellphone that would be all elaborate to unlock cars would just vandalize a random target. Maybe stupid lamer kids who think that because they once used some stupid program to take advantage of a stupid exploit are hacker, lololol

That's a nice application yes. But only if there isn't another way except for breaking the glass or something, lol
