Or just not storing your key where it can be repeated ๐คช this attack is 100% mitigated by some distance or just fuckin' aluminum foil.
You would need to put your keys in a faraday cage.
Distance doesn't matter, as they can just use a bigger antenna or better amplifier. You find footage of people using large loops of wire to capture the signal from the keys
Sure, you could and probably should do that. But is that something the consumer should have to do?
At what point is a design flaw/defect the consumer's responsibility?
