Oh shit i thought that was a software gone wrong they couldn’t easily update.

That’s crazy.

Edit: but they are doing software to fix it, which wasn’t always working at least initially. which still isn’t stopping all thefts. Thefts are still elevated with the update, but less than without.

Edit: this might be why

The institute’s report said theft claims may still be elevated for car models with the new software because the software-based immobilizer activates only if the key fob is used to lock the vehicle; if the driver uses the switch on the door handle, the anti-theft software is ineffective.
