Actually, I like it. There just needs to be a local override that only the owner would know... say, a passphrase or some other code along with a key. That way, external events can not disrupt the normal operation of the vehicle. Yes, there is now the risk of getting kidnapped or otherwise violated to get that information out of you, but, no anti-theft system can be perfectly reliable while allowing reliable operation of the vehicle.
