Ohh yeah. I remember the tech news coverage of the cars being so easy to steal, just didn’t realise there was a “challenge” about it. Unbelievable Hyundai and Kia got away without immobilisers for so long. Really cheeky of them to cut that corner, and it backfired.
They cut the corner because a lack of regulation allowed them to, in order to produce a cheaper model.
It’s a mandatory feature in some other countries.
And of course the insurance rates for those cars skyrocketed. Some insurers wouldn’t provide insurance at all for Kia or Hyundai models that were vulnerable.
