Most repos just grab the car one way or the other and a dealer can make a new key via the vin, which they will do because the car belongs to the creditor. Better key fob security won’t impact repo.

Yeah, I have to agree that I’d rather see manufacturers fix vulnerabilities than try to restrict access to knowledge, which hasn’t worked in the past.

My argument is based on making the device illegal won’t stop people who break laws by definition from using it or getting it, although they can get hemmed up if caught with it.

Also, the last 20 years in the information security industry has shown positive shifts in the idea that finding any/all vulnerabilities are good for consumers to know that they have a vulnerable item and need to be protected. This measure goes against that in my opinion and takes us a few steps back.
