"Ban insecure vehicles" is chasing the technology of locks; there's always another circumvention.

Companies that put out egregiously vulnerable vehicles should be held liable, though.

Yeah! If we make it illegal, then people will stop breaking the laws. That is how it works, right?

Insurance companies should reflect unlock vulnerability of a car model in its premiums. That still leaves the problem that few people look at insurance premium when choosing what car to buy. What would help is a widely used certification system kept up-to-date by certification authorities in cooperation with insurance companies, similarly to what we have in place for a car model's fuel consumption.

#10This has to be one of the dumbest things I've read in a while.
All vehicles are insecure. I can hook a tow truck to almost any vehicle, including an 80,000 lbs tractor trailer and drive off with it. That'd actually attract less attention that outright hotwiring a vehicle.
The solution is to identify, arrest, and prosecute criminals. Which the government is not obligated to do in the US.
