>How would you prevent this type of attack while retaining the keyless start and entry feature

I get that regular keys could be copied and locks picked, but I feel that if you can't securely do wireless unlock and keyless start, then don't put it in.

The car industry has a lot to learn about security. I almost refuse to believe the stories where hackers take over the onboard computers via the entertainment systems in a car, because I can't believe that anyone would be stupid enough to link the two system. Yet, companies like Jeep seems to believe there's a reason that the computer running the GPS and radio needs access to the breaks.

Not only security; with GPS and radio having access to the breaks, the car industry has a lot to learn about safety.

The entire industry that allowed this kind of terrible design needs to study the lessons of the Therac-25. Nobody seems to understand what "fail safe" means anymore.

And yet cars have got both dramatically safer and much harder to steal
