Re:Radio Attack Lets Hackers Steal Cars with Just $20 Worth ... by jagger27 on Tuesday November 28, 2017 @01:38PM (#15800048)
In 1 μs light travels 300 m (984 ft) in a vacuum, or 225 m (738 ft) in air (roughly). That's not good enough.

1 nanosecond is about a foot. A 100MHz clock gives us a resolution of 10 ns, which translates to 2.25 meters away by light in air.

As a backup if your fob battery is dead, you could use inductive power in the door, or just use that to begin with (still with distance-bounding).
