And those who steal cars can clone pretty much any car keys. No sensation here.

... except you don't need physical or visual access to clone an electronic key, just proximity.

Which is straightforward when you want to steal a particular vehicle because you know where it is and can easily follow its patterns.

Great! The dealership charges inordinately for a new key so I would love to be able to do it myself.

I am married to someone who has lost her keys several times so far. Upgrading from a car with a $50 fob to one with a $200 fob was not fun.

If she loses her keys just once it pays for itself many times over.

I live in the city and it's extremely common for cars to be broken into and/or stolen because of key fobs. It's a common topic on our FB neighborhood group. We store our keys in a Faraday box by the front door now, instead of leaving them out. Not surprised the attack vectors keep growing here.

The LockPickingLawyer has done a few recent videos on RFID locks and how one can bypass them. They were pretty interesting to me:
