Many (most?) modern cars also have a radio-based transponder fob to operate the immobilizer, which, being both electronic and obfuscated / proprietary, isn't as easy to clone.
I don't really know that this app will perpetuate a lot more crime - 5 kiosks in NYC actually seems like less availability than your crooked buddy at the hardware store turning a blind eye to you bringing in a key or two every so often.
Plus, it seems to me that use of the app and kiosks is even more trackable than walking into a physical location.

- readme 12y agoIt's not the car key that I'm worried about people cloning. It's the droves of people who leave their house keys attached to the keyring when they hand it to the valet. Definitely agree about trackability with the app.
