Kia and Hyundai vehicles across America are being stolen in seconds

The context is a design issue, and the fault seems to be not with bad engineering implementation but with having omissed a component which puts a security condition on the ignition system.

There is nonetheless a problem in these consolidated systems: such components, which matching the identity of a key the owner possesses give a "greenlight" to the ignition system, are electronic parts that can break, and their availability seems to be a dependence on the manufacturer. We should have standard components from car manufacturing, so that vehicles do not stop working because of missing replacement parts in the market. (The very article mentions shortages, in a different context.)
