    It’s always been vulnerable, but dismissed because common criminals didn’t have access to required tools and the technical know-how to defeat common keyless entries. But things has changed and many entities start selling tools on the cheap to defeat keyless system such as flipper zero flashed with honda rf capture, etc.

        When the insurance companies decide to not insure those models and people stop buying them because they can’t get them insured.

          That’s not being held liable. That’s just the market forcing them to change. Fixing the problem going forward doesn’t fix the IB problems.

          Besides, the market for cars is still terrible, and cars are a necessity these days. I’m not optimistic that consumers can pressure meaningful change with their wallets. (Who can afford not having a car for 6 months, waiting for the perfect car?)

            I wouldn’t say the market is that terrible for cars, if you insist on only buying domestic new cars yea, but the used and import markets are massive.
