In recent months, we have been witnessing an astonishing phenomenon in the USA: thousands of vehicles from the brands Kia and not Hyundai were stolen. If flights explode on these models, it is above all because a fault has been identified in anti-theft software cars, and easy to disable with a simple USB cable.
For many car models produced by Hyundai and its subsidiaries between 2015 et 2019, no immobilizer is fitted and only an electronic device has been fitted to prevent keyless starting. Unfortunately, since the latter contains a flaw, criminals were quick to exploit it massively.
The city of New York wishes to fight actively against the phenomenon and Eric Adams, the mayor in place has thus launched a program which aims to distribute 500 Apple Airtags holders of vehicles potentially affected by this type of theft.
The beacons of‘Apple should thus make it possible to track vehicles in the event of theft to find them more easily, and why not also arrest thieves. Admittedly, 500 Airtags are a bit like a drop of water in an ocean of more than 8.5 million inhabitantsbut it is a first step and a simple and inexpensive solution that could help limit vehicle theft.
