wouldn’t be surprised if it’s malicious paid for hit piece by US auto industry
I dont think it’s quite so conspiratorial. This is low hanging fruit for journalists after the major issue they had with not including immobilizers as a standard feature.
If you know anything about car security, you’ll know that chip and key immobilizers are miles apart from smart fob authentication, and that any vehicle from any manufacturer using a smart fob is vulnerable to a wireless relay attack.
I think someone is being paid to not understand the difference here. I think Hyundai cheaping out on immobilizer chips is unacceptable, but I also blame NHTSA for not requiring it in the FMVSS, Canada had none of the US’ problems with Hyundai / Kia thefts because the CMVSS requires an immobilizer since 2007.
