From the last paragraph:

At the end of the day, with both writeups combined, we could send remote commands such as unlocking and turning the engines on, for any of the automaker's vehicles in Australia, the United States, and Canada.

In modern vehicles with remote start, "starting the engine" leaves the immobilizer engaged.

If you have a car with factory remote start, try this yourself -- try remote starting the car, then getting in without the keys and driving away. You can't.
