I have heard about this and other similar systems being
tried/tested.  One problem kept cropping up.  What happens in an
emergency, when someone is not thinking perfectly, ie. they are
being attacked (actually happened) and can't get their car to start
fast enough to get away.  This incident happened over a seat belt
test-the car would not start unless the seatbelt was fastened.  A
woman was injured (I don't remember how badly) because she couldn't
get the belt fastened so she could get away from the gang that was
harassing her.  A complicated start up arrangement could prove to be
even more hazardous.

Just something to think about.
