The attack involves relaying the signal next to the car. Essentially mimicking the key fob being close to the car.

For what I know you can not clone the key, nor can you record the signal and replay it whenever you want access. It's a one time thing to drive away to your nearest chop-shop/hideout.

Adding to this,

My late mid 2014 MBP has the kernal_task heavy write issue. I has written over 15TB the last 61 days. The new nvme disk I installed two months ago is already at 2% wear:

  Available Spare:                    100%
  Available Spare Threshold:          10%

A quick Google directed me at:

  - Spotlight indexing packages folders (npm, pip etc). Add those to the "privacy" tab in the spotlight settings to skip indexing.
  - The battery and or logic board may be failing.

Let's hope so. Though the price might be a hurdle.

The price per base station is quite high right now. Estimates range from $500 - $2500 (based on teardown)[1].

Tesla mentioned using iron in the lower end electric vehicles [1]. Though I don't know if that is the safe composition you are mentioning.

Since the article is in Dutch, here's my summary:

The Amsterdam municipality is demanding a startup to stop developing an app that can be used to prevent parking fines.

The app uses a dash cam to detect and notify users of a "scanauto" near their vehicle. These municipality cars use an automated camera system to detect license plates and fine owners who are not paying the parking fees. There is a 5 minute grace period between scanning and the requirement for a person to start paying for parking.

A user may use the notification from the app to start paying the parking fee during this time preventing a fine.

How can you tell from the small image?

I clicked through and the ebay link mentions: "Built-in protection circuit PCM for prevent over charging or over discharging."
