Cars, yes, because they're permanently transmitting. Garages not so much.
What has that got to do with the price of rice in China? Please explain why what I said has anything at all to do with garage door openers? Because what I said specifically never mentioned garage doors at all.
The person you replied to mentioned garage door openers.
"Well that's why i don't like keyless vehicles, it's easy to stole it with some wireless signal emulator In the end the principle is same like wireless garage door opener, some thieves can hijack it very easily like no effort."
"Do you not know what rolling codes are?"
I responded to the second quoted comment asking (because the article is about car theft) how rolling keys prevent relay (repeater) attacks on keyless entry vehicles. There are several people in this thread who are comparing car keys to garage door openers, however, that's not what my conversation with the person above was about.
Yes, I also read the comments prior to yours, no need to quote then back to me.
So you're a troll. Good to know. Blocked.
If by "troll" you mean "person providing additional clarifying information" then yes.
