I think this is positive. No mechanical lock is perfect – safes are rated by the time it takes to open them, chains by the time with different classes of tools.
Electronic locks are generally good but a single “picking” can unlock lots of locks. Think D-locks and biros for a real world analogy.
This should stop manufacturers and insurance companies from blandly claiming that their locks are unpickable. It should come down to balance of probability like every other civil case. If a particular class of locks has been hacked, that should reduce the insurances companies chance of claiming that the owner had left their keys out etc.
I’d also like some liability to come back from the insurance companies to the car manufacturers. That’s the only thing that will cause them to take this seriously.
