There are definitely some basic attacks that you can do with a flipper. They are quite a bit more limited than what you can do with an SDR though, and I'm skeptical that they are widely deployed by anyone. You definitely can't steal a car like this, you can possibly unlock one. But hammers are much more useful in that regard and have a significantly lower skill floor.
