I feel confident that layering more technology layers on top of the already flawed design isn't going to fix this.

Making car keys an IoT endpoint on a cell network strikes me as one of the worst ideas ever. It is begging for exploits and failures.

Imagine the joy the first time the owner drives outside of cell tower data range and tries to re-start the car.

I think they were suggesting an improvement to the hacking tool.
