    Keyless car theft solved

    "Quantum communication is a field of applied quantum physics closely related to quantum information processing and quantum teleportation. Its most interesting application is protecting information channels against eavesdropping by means of quantum cryptography."

    Sorteed!

    The older Peugeot and Citroen had a PIN to punch in. The PIN would be sent to the fuel injector pump (not to the ECU). Three wrong tries would disable the car for 30 minutes. A temporary PIN could be setup for garage servicing etc

    If the car was stolen by rowing it away, the fuel injector pump would need to be changed.

      If they can have fingerprint reader in cheap iPad, why can't they have it in much more expensive car?

        The manufacturers want more cars to be nicked, so the aggrieved owners have to buy replacements!

        (It's like Microsoft wants Windows to be infected by viruses and malware, despite managing to convince most people it wants the opposite, so the user is more likely to want to upgrade their PC.)

          What if your finger is bitten off by a squirrel and it makes off with your car?

            So your car was outside your house all this time?
            If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

                  I'd rather the thieves nicked my car without first coming into the house for the keys and giving me GBH, so this "relay" thing is all good.

                    Get yourself an air pistol. And a baseball bat.
