Vehicle safety technology and communications between the thieves and the police had been standing and goals, the lowest level in the same period last year, the rate of car theft since 1960, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau report.
In 2013, 221 100 000 stolen vehicle registration office said. In 1960, the figure was 443. Crime peaked in 1991, when thieves made off with 863 per 100,000 registered vehicles statement NICB said last week.
Car thefts declined from 2003-2011, but in 2012, an increase of 2013 before declining again slightly.
In addition to law enforcement, security and vehicle technology has played a role in reducing theft.
The technology has a positive impact in the vehicle ", if it is in the manufacture of cars, new and more reliable theft protection is designed in the design, implementation seek or obtain additional level of security in the secondary market process owners an option, the "the statement said. "In short, it is difficult to steal the car but today more than ever, technology has become possible."
GM's "level" approach
General Motors, for example, there is a way to "layer" safe, said Bill Biondo, global security and advanced automotive technology, technology partners.
Limited visibility from the window and entered the car cover charge to discourage thieves.
But Biondo said that the most significant deterrent is a transponder immobilizer. Response key with the electric vehicle system must detect a response value from the chip in the key to start the engine.
"The key car knows, the key is the vehicle to get married," said Biondo.
Ford charm
Security Technical Manager Mike Westra keychain car Ford Ford said thieves more difficult.
Ford "make sure it is not a key in the cockpit of a gift" when the engine is started before, Westra said.
OnStar Stolen Another obstacle caused Biondo said.
The program can be found, stop and restart the stolen vehicle discouraged.
"OnStar has services to help prevent theft and help recover stolen and the thieves know," he said.
However, the reduction in vehicle theft is the result of joint efforts.
As part of its work, the network and enterprise Biondo police and insurance. It can even help new security features on the basis of research and development activities in the field.
They "Let me at them to see what's circulating in the field," he said. "We believe that our law enforcement partners in this."
Ford is working with its European counterparts to combat vehicle theft, Westra said. Since the theft in Europe tend to be higher, Ford Europe's "positive evaluation of each vehicle in the final stage," in order to determine how close to the external wiring and how hard surface is a locking mechanism of the vehicle to avoid.
Continue efforts to make technology more intelligent security system is "a little game of cat and mouse" for the gang learn to outsmart connections in automotive safety systems, Westra said.
But at least now, he said, advanced vehicle safety, making it more difficult for thieves to escape.
