I start my bikes and cars inside a garage where there's limited RF signal due to no line of sight to towers. If this thing fails to initiate service correctly, the maker of this product will be in for a world of hurt after my heirs sue them into the ground for failing to deliver their service.
Air bag makers like Takata know the high cost of poorly designed airbags all too well. Inviting [b|m]illions in liability through a service model that requires a successful login before every use is nuts.
Login failure could also happen inside a parking garage w/o signal, or in a large city where RF shadows from tall buildings block signal, or in a woods that's too far from cellular towers to receive a signal, or it could fail on restart after the engine stalls on the road.
I wonder if the maker will choose not to sell their product in the US where personal injury attorneys are probably already licking their lips.
This service model may make sense on a racetrack, but not so much in the real world.
