This is a straw man. How do you know someone didn't copy the physical key to the used car? I think most people don't care.

- kriro 11y agoThere's a subtle difference. With the physical key you can't do anything remotely, with a copy of the proposed crypto key you can. Remote control over your breaks/steering is a pretty scary scenario. Someone having your physical keys mostly means they can steal your car.
- eli 11y agoThis is a strange thing to worry about: the former owner of your used car planning to murder you? I'm perfectly fine with the answer that, as with most technology, it's nearly impossible to prove your car computer hasn't been backdoored.
