I'm not sure this applies to cars with remote start. For ERS to work the car has to be locked and even if someone breaks into the car it cannot be driven as all the drive electronics including the gearbox remain locked. Volvo isn't the only manufacturer offering remote start so I doubt if they've all implemented a system that breaks the law. Perhaps it'll have to be tested in court.
