You simply can't make this up. Sadly, this won't get laughed out of the court room like it should.

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's office announced that the city filed the lawsuit against automakers Kia and Hyundai, alleging that both companies have failed to include "industry-standard engine immobilizers" in several models of vehicles, which resulted in a "steep rise" in crime.
"The impact of car theft on Chicago residents can be deeply destabilizing, particularly for low- to middle-income workers who have fewer options for getting to work and taking care of their families," Johnson said. "The failure of Kia and Hyundai to install basic auto-theft prevention technology in these models is sheer negligence, and as a result, a citywide and nationwide crime spree around automobile theft has been unfolding right before our eyes."

Did he happen to mention what the requirements were for these magical devices to stop car theft were? The feds regulate everything to death on a car down to how many lumens the turn signals must emit, surely there is theft prevention/deterrents specified right?

He may now be the dumbest mayor in America.

There actually never were which is why Hyundai/Kia accounts for 100% of the increase in car thefts everyone has been freaking out about.
In 2017-2021 models with “push to start” Hyundai and Kia cars didn’t have proximity sensors to verify that a key was actually nearby. All you had to do was Hotwire the engine and drive off.
Yes, really, and that’s why they’re getting sued.
