Imagine being able to come up to anyone, open their car door, shove them over into the passenger seat while threatening them with a gun, start the car and drive away. Could probably do this in a busy street without anyone noticing.
- sudhirj 5y agoYou’d have to stalk them first when they opened and started the car earlier. This is a replay attack, you need to be around to record the original.

- oauea 5y agoShould be easy enough to do in a shopping mall. Maybe plant a few recording devices around the parking lot and replay all of them, if you want to get extreme.
- ashtonkem 5y agoIt’s possible, but not likely. You’re describing a very sophisticated attack for a violent crime, especially since the typical attack involves nothing more complicated than a sawed off shotgun pointed at the driver. It should still be fixed, but this strikes me as something that’s more likely to be used by a state or quasi-state level actor to take out a high value target more than something that’ll be used to randomly assault people at the mall.
- sudhirj 5y agoYeah, it seems more like a mission impossible or heist movie plot device than a common crime.
- cestith 5y agoThe scenario I first imagined was a kidnapping or sexual assault by a stalker. Lying in wait in someone's car when they leave work or the gym may be a TV trope, but it's not inconceivable as a real attack method.
- kjkjadksj 5y agoYou can do that right now with any car on the road. Guns break windows easily and people aren’t going to risk their lives for a set of keys, they will let you have the car and whatever else.
