         | Kangaroo deterents have existed for a while, e.g.
         | https://www.shuroo.com.au/, although their actual effeciency is
         | not well known (or, I do not know). It will be interesting what
         | VW will bring to the table once the Roo Badge becomes
         | commercially available.
