GM vehicles have leveraged OnStar for these functions for years now.
Nevertheless, I have no interest in paying another subscription for cellular data, and really, what more do we need to do remotely other than start the car? The 2015+ F-150's have the two-way remote start built into the newly designed key fobs. After pushing the button sequence to remote start, a green LED on the remote blinks to indicate a successful start, or a red LED blinks to show a failed start. I like the remote start, but I don't need any confirmation lights or messages...I can hear the roar of the engine firing up, and see the parking lights come on.
Being able to unlock the vehicle from "around the world" is silly and useless. Having an LTE modem connected to vehicle functions is nothing other than an invitation to have your vehicle hacked.

I have a two way viper remote start in my current truck with a one mile range. I start my truck when out of sight all the time so I love the two way feature. For example, from in a restaurant, or a store, etc. You can't see or hear the vehicle, but know you were within range and it started.
