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.
