Any dollars more than none is too many for auto companies and for dealerships. Even subsidizing it would still require them to spend time on the problem and that's quite unacceptable. That's assuming that the technical problem, testing, rollout, etc. wouldn't run into any issues. That all said, not all thefts are the kind that the Flipper team are describing (/the kind that the government is falsely blaming on the Zero). Lots of them are a lot simpler than that, even before getting to the Kia/Hyundai mess. Actually making the mass car theft problem better would require a more in depth approach across several boundaries, and that's a lot more effort than just banning this tool.
