Maybe cars should not be so easy to steal... I thought we came to an agreement on this.

I work for a company of under 100 employees in a small city. Our head IT guy bought a Flipper Zero with his own money so he could make sure our building key fobs couldn't be easily copied.

If this guy can do it, I think the bajillion dollar auto industry can figure out a solution!

A single guy does not have 3 layers of managers and bosses above him, who have "better ideas", costscutting policies and "i have no idea what you just explained to me, so lets just not do it!".

Absolutely. I bet it's just easier and cheaper for them to not bother securing their fob radio.

To be clear, I'm saying they should get their shit together as a company, because it's clearly not a hard thing to fix.

So we can either have secure cars or late stage capitalism? Sounds like a worthwhile trade.
