Uhm, we do.  There are those blinking LEDs which serve exactly that
purpose.  And yes, those electronic locks have been broken; the only
thing that protects them is that it's a crime to tell anyone how they
work.

At this stage, car locks (especially those of the electronic kind)
serve only to show intent.  You can't claim that you erroneously drove
away in someone else's car.  Besides that, they don't really help.
