Risks:
- If your phone stops working, you may be unable start your car.
- If you park your car where there isn't phone service, you may
be unable to start it again.

That appears to be a proposed future addition.
Risks:
- Cutting the engine makes a car hard to control (especially if
the driver has got used to power steering). This can result in
a collision.
- In the event of a collision, rescuing the thief from the wrecked
car becomes more difficult because it's locked.
