I'm glad I bought a Corolla LE that does have remote start. I still have to insert the key to start the engine. So much more secure.

The key has a RFID chip in it that is read by the ignition switch.

Vehicles with factory remote start still require the key to drive the car. None of the "remote start over the internet" vulnerabilities found to date allow anyone to drive the car.
