Pimp Your Ride. Or: OnStar Allows Perfect Strangers To Open Car Doors With Their Cell Phones

Need some extra money? Want to work from home? Easy: Sell her to perfect strangers, by the hour. You will receive assistance in pimping her as long as she's an OnStar-equipped Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, or Cadillac.   According to a GM release, GM OnStar subscribers can now rent out their idle vehicles through the RelayRides marketplace, and "potentially earn hundreds of dollars a month to offset the cost of owning a vehicle." You don't even need to see the john renter face to face, because "renters can unlock reserved OnStar-enabled cars simply by using their smart phones" says the press release. Scary: "Through OnStar's proprietary API, RelayRides developers were given access to key vehicle-centric features such as location and remote door lock and unlock. This means renters can unlock the doors with their smart phone or by replying to a text message." I'd rather sell my soul for a few hundred bucks. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
