This and CAN attacks are a perfect illustration of "blue team has to be perfect every time, red team only needs to find one mistake." Until car manufacturers become liable for the thefts, they have little incentive to find and fix the vulnerabilities they've created.  Being perfect is expensive.  

Pro tip: drive an older car and put in a hidden fuel pump cut off switch. (I'm guessing that's probably too complicated in motorized computers.)

I recently crossed paths with an acquaintance in the parking lot who pointed to her new truck and excitedly told me how cool it was that she can control the entire thing with her phone... 😱🤦‍♂️
