Gone in 61 seconds.

The keys were left near the front door.

@it4sec how does this work? I thought there was some kind of movement sensor in the key fob, so it wouldn't send any signals when it lies on the shelf
@Cyberfuchs
Some models of key fobs transmit a signal constantly. In order for the car to open, the signal needs to be amplified and transmitted closer to the car, which is what the thieves do in the video.
reminds me a little of the early attacks on landline telephones without cable attachted handhelds. where you could walk down a street with a handheld and easily find a base station this handheld would attach to ...

@jabgoe2089 There is literally NO motivation for the car makers to design safe systems, as the law is mostly on their side, it's the car owners who get problems with insurance.

Courts are strongly inclined to believe corporate declarations that their systems are safe.

@it4sec @Cyberfuchs the car does not shut off when it's running and the key disappears?
@gunstick @it4sec No. Imagine driving on the highway and the battery of the key runs out of energy... I wouldn't want my car to stop in that case
@Cyberfuchs @gunstick @it4sec wouldbit stop on the next traffic light?
@generationX no. For that, the car would have to know the precise location of the traffic lights. Also it might block the whole street

@Cyberfuchs haha, I was thinking about speed==0.

Of course it can't know the location.😁

@gunstick
The car won't turn on gain once the thieves turn it off, though.

This means they can't just sell it to someone else. But they can still sell its parts, of course, and they can get it to a place where they have more time may have ways to crack the security systems properly (if they know how to)
