    To anyone who didn’t read the article and was confused like me, apparently starlink is Subaru’s remote car security feature.

      Apparently they capitalize it, so the article author kinda screwed it up:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_(disambiguation)

      STARLINK, a brand of automotive connectivity systems by Subaru

          It might not tell you that it’s Subaru’s connectivity system (absent context), but I bet that if they’d written it that way, it’d at least let you know that it’s probably not SpaceX’s satellite Internet service program.
