They've known far longer than that....

When was the invention of the immobilizer again? Oh yeah: 1919 104 years ago. With keyless entry being 1981 43 years ago.

Yet theres still cars on the road, built long after those creations, that you can start with a usb cable... (and that's just for the physical shape, not any sort of data)
