I’d rather have a physical key for my car. I can see them using this to stop people from driving. Would you guys be okay with this?

We should be using our phones less not more.

I absolutely agree. Internet goes down and we’re done for

So if my phone dies one day and I need to go to the store to get another one... I just want a piece of metal that goes into the slot. You turn it clockwise. It mechanically engages the starter. I want that. Fobs... bare minimum we have to have fobs. You need backups for the phones. Unless we have two or three phones that all work? Because from that this is sounding like that is the "plan". Or more likely, the "plan" is that the phones just will never have a problem ever some magical how.

I hate everything about it.

Same

Oddly enough when Subaru had Starlink (not affiliated with actual Starlink), I could pay for this feature. It is creepy. Needless to say I never did. I wish my car had a key and not push start or use an app.

There’s two different star links?

Yes. Subaru launched it in 2014 and ended it in 2023. No affiliation and separate trade marks.

Imagine damaging your phone and your car stops too. 2027 is when the kill switches go in too

I don’t like it.

Yeah it would be abused by those in power

Exactly

No thanks

Hard pass from me too

They can't what if you don't have a smart phone

They just assume everyone does

The subscription to the Gm app just went up 😂

This is a horrible idea.. no way do I want my ability to drive to be dependent on my phone being charged.

They copied it from @Tesla. Personally, I love it, and the app functionality is awesome. With or without a physical key, they can shut your vehicle off whenever they desire. Tesla also provided two key cards for non-app drivers (valets, friends, kids). Additionally, I don't have to worry about finding a misplaced key, replacing the battery, or replacing the entire fob for $250+ when it's lost. And the guy in the blue shirt is a drama queen—period. Your phone, TV, vehicle, watch, any electronic device, the Flock cameras… what am I missing!?!? Everything is tracking us 24/7.

The key fob is an expensive optional on a Tesla. They give you a credit card with a wireless chip. But normally you use your phone as your key on Tesla. I expect most other companies will follow.

Hyundai has already been doing this as an option of course, you still get a key fob but you can also download the app and use your phone as a back up. This isn’t new.

They can already stop you from driving dude

So now your car can get stolen easier??

So step 1) steal your phone…

Tesla has been doing this for years

I want a key.

Vehicle SPYWARE isn’t enough, now they want to STALK you through the phone.. F off

You forgot to pay your 50$ monthly subscription for your car keys, you are now stuck at Walmart indeffinately

This is a terrible idea

No

Rivian already does this.

Yeah, make EVERYTHING controlled by your phone so someone can hack it…

Imagine renting a car??!! I saw it frequently with the Ford my key!! People would change the rental car to a teenage driving and car on the highway would stay at 55 mph! Very concerning. And the rental car company can't stop it!! Needs to go to the dealership. Just saying.

FUCK THAT!!

They want a monthly fee for the app. It’s all about the money.

Well I guess I will never buy a GM product

So when you go get your oil changed do you have to give the tech your phone to have it serviced? What about people who use a valet service?

How much will the subscription cost?

Absolutely not.

Tesla doesn’t have a key, so that would mean most EVs sold this year don’t have a key.

Then there will be a monthly fee to start your own car.

What happens when you break your phone / doesn’t work ?? 🤔 Nahh, 🖕🏻 that nonsense.
