#2I can break into an old or new car in 2 seconds with a hammer. Thankfully people don't break into your car just because they can.

#3Has there ever been a lot of friction as far as how quickly someone could get into a car?
Let's say it took someone 60 seconds in the past, is 10 seconds really that big of a change as far as committing the crime goes?

But you can't start the car with a hammer and drive away, which is something the article talked about as well.

#5The article doesn't support the headline. I don't doubt there are vulnerabilities, but the article didn't deliver.

Relay attacks let them start it an drive away too.

It's the BBC, they are another Buzzfeed.

#9On my Mercedes key I always double click the lock button which entirely disabled the keyless features until I use the key again.
Now the question is - is this actually safer? If some thieves arrive at my house to steal my car and their relay gadget doesn't work, are they going to give up, or are they going to break in and threaten me for the key? Now that's a question I don't like to think about too much.

They mention the relay attack. You hav an antenna amd amp. You press a button and the car challenges the key. The amp makes it reach the key.
