Good smart lightbulbs (was it Ikea?) nowadays have time-of-flight protection against remote attackers with high-gain antennas. You need to physically be within xx centimeters of the device, or else the signals take too long and are discarded. I can't believe car manufacturers haven't thought of that.

A good article from 2016 on the topic of such attacks: https://ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/special-interest/infk/inst-...

Nice, very on topic! Seems the problem was solved in the "Time-of-flight (Short symbol IR-UWB)" protocol to defend against exactly the attacks that these devices use. Now the car manufacturers just have to use it.
