Instead of fixing swiss cheese cars, maybe try catching and punishing the criminals. Just because i hold my phone in my hand and not in a locked safe doesn't mean you can take it.



How about we do both? No reason we cannot punish criminals while also holding lazy manufacturers to account.


My proposed solution, manufacturers have to stop bring lazy and install it and it solves the criminal problem: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7U4ZYOBzEEs

I think you're talking about the same thing.


Because this is not an easy crime to catch or punish, these cars are so easy to steal a layman can do it in minutes without making much noise, take it to a chop shop, and be off with some money in no time.

Getting better at identifying and shutting down these chop shops is a good idea obviously, but that's also hard. On the other hand, forcing companies who didn't give a shit about security for years to pay for retrofitting the shitty cars they put out is actually a lot easier.


Sounds like we need more surveillance, facial recognition, and AI behavior and activity tracking around cities then
