Not long after purchasing it, some family members accidently locked the keys inside their new 2011 Suburban LTZ. A phone call to the relevant service (OnStar?) allowed the rep to remotely unlock the vehicle, as they stood next to it, after ownership was authenticated.
They'd also receive reminder notices regarding oil changes, etc. that were coming due, based on the actual odometer reading.
10 years on and I still think it was Big Brotherish.
Lord knows what remote monitoring capabilities are possible today...and what may come to pass. In lieu of the anti-theft harnesses discussed in this thread, will deadbeat owners trigger a remote drone strike after missing 3 payments? And can we watch it on Pay-per-view?
