    “That’s how fast it can happen, maybe just a couple seconds.” The attacks have become common enough that some car owners have taken to keeping their keys in Faraday bags that block radio signals—or in the freezer.

    That makes me laugh.

    Just to be able to push a button to start you car, you have to keep your keys in a faraday bag or in the Freezer. That’s just silly

      I was recently looking at new vehicles nearly all have push button starts.

        I like my old keys of my 2010 car, turn to power the engine. I start to become an grumpy old fart waving his cane in his thirties. Technology seems to be 1 step forward two steps backwards sometimes. Don’t get me started on car screen buttons, tactile ones or some that have two functions like (fan speed + audio volume - rented a car that worked that way. My copilot didn’t want to touch on those buttons anymore)

        I really wonder what will be my options when this one will not work anymore.
