The majority of cars depend on the engine to provide power assist on the brakes and steering. Without power assist the physical effort required to stop and steer goes up significantly. Suddenly having the control dynamics of a multi-ton chunk of metal change dramatically while at speed isn't something most people are capable of responding to correctly. Having the engine stop in the middle of a busy intersection is another way to have a bad time.

Being able to start the car remotely and being able to put the car in gear and drive without the key in the ignition are independent features.
