Many automotive brands are adopting ‘keyless’ systems, allowing users to unlock and start their vehicles without physical keys. However, these systems are easier for thieves to exploit, as shown in a recent ADAC study where 90% of tested vehicles were found vulnerable. Despite warnings about these security gaps since 2011, manufacturers like Subaru and Ford remain silent. Meanwhile, brands like Volvo and Mazda are implementing advanced technologies to enhance car security. Experts advise disabling keyless features to mitigate risks, although this compromises user convenience.
