There are mitigations, my point was mainly that there is more to it than a implementing a tried and proven protocol but developed for a completely different use case (like SSH). Keyless entry systems are what they are because of a complicated trade-off between convenience, reliability, security and other factors and not necessarily because all engineers at car companies are idiots.

True, if you don't care about security upload you password to the cloud or open your Car without any manual action ;)
