Modern vehicles can be hacked.

I drive the first year Ridgeline and it is as about as basic of a non computerized vehicle as you can get.
About 10 days ago, I parked it in a Walmart parking lot.
My wife went to buy something, and I stayed in the truck.
A couple minutes later a guy parked a new Ridgeline near me. He got out and put his key fob into an aluminum signal blocking package (it is designed for toll roads and bridges.
Then, he unlocked his gas tank door with a regular key and put the package w/his fob into that little area by his gas cap locked the gas cap area door.
I got out of my Ridgeline and pointed to it and asked the guy what he was doing. He said that his fob sometimes unlocked the doors/truck keys on Hondas and and other Japanese vehicles if he walked by them with the fob in his pocket. So he did the stow it away thing to avoid that problem.
Last night, a couple, who live about a block away provided a ride to and from an anniversary party.
Later as we were going to the party, in their new Honda sedan, on the way, I mentioned about the fob incident.
They said to remind them on the way home.
Her Fob apparently did the same thing until it was replaced.
