I don't get the remote start, you should never start them if you're away from your home. Gonna flood or burn your house down.

At least in my case, its electric

Electric dryer can still catch fire on heat mode by lint accumulation that blocks air flow.

Rather safe on no heat mode, though.

Funnily enough static discharge is common in dryer house fires regardless of the type of dryer you have. It's usually the lint that gets set on fire.
