The point is heating up the car so it's warm when you get inside. I don't have this feature and I live in the northern US. In the winter the car is freezing for the first 3 minutes as there is no heat until the engine warms up. Being able to start the car from the other side of the parking lot would increase my comfort by a large amount.
