Thanks Patrick!
Among other things, they can query the in-the-clear unique ID of each
tire sensor at distance and speed, as well as spoof the replies from
the tire sensor to the ECU.
Nothing like a "safety feature" that enables specific vehicles to be
identified at a distance... In the same class of brilliance that
enabled "I sense a Country X RFID passport nearby"...
