You obviously would make a very good engineer. Too bad there are very few with your common sense designing our products today, as anyone picking up a remote control for a TV can attest.

But, in order to maintain the high reliability of automotive stereo, you'd have to use Kuba's redundant contact, mil-spec approach to minimize the impact on the music system's points of failure. Not so with the starter circuit intervention, as there are hundreds of single points of failure with less than "gold-contact" reliability engineered into the systems that need to function to start a vehicle. Just look at any fuel pump relay except for LH2.0 cars.

Also half serious...
