    These are different attack vectors.
    The classic one was listening to a key, then impersonating it later.
    Rolling keys fixed that.

    For keyless, the usual attack is working as a relay.

    Attacker stands between the car and the victim with a transceiver that links the car and the key together, despite the distance, and opens it.
