It's called SmartSTART for a reason I guess and not SmartRUN.
Can you use the key fob to lock the doors with the car running?

I'll admit that I hadn't thought of that but....
It could be smart enough to say something like;
"Key not present - Place fob in front of button within 60 seconds or auto shut-down will commence"
Then the car could start slowing the vehicle's speed over the next 60 seconds and then only allow a max speed of 10mph for the next 60 seconds until it just stops altogether.
This gives the driver with a dying key fob 3 whole minutes to cough up the fob or he's going to the curb..
