How about banning the sale of cars that don't use time of flight measurement in their keyless go system?
The problem isn't thieves using easy to get standard equipment for car theft, the problem is car manufacturers making it pretty easy for them.
Remember when you could open cars using an old coat hanger?
Did they ban steel wire to prevent this?
- Ballas 2y agoThis. There is seemingly no incentive for manufacturers to make it harder to steal their cars - every stolen car is likely a new sale.
- Daviey 2y agoUnlike the US, it was also illegal to listen in on police radio frequencies. I always felt this was madness to make it illegal rather than adopt encryption. Thankfully they are now encrypted.
- nubinetwork 2y agoI thought I heard something about UK police using a channel hopping routine similar to how Bluetooth works... if you know the channels used at the time, you can still listen in and piece the conversation together... do they still use it, or did they change to a new method?
- mathw 2y agoThat wouldn't help people who have cars that already don't do that very sensible thing which yes should be mandatory on all new cars with keyless entry worldwide.
