Is unlawfully driving or taking a vehicle a crime that is not considered a "grand theft auto" under section 490.2 of the California Vehicle Code?

unlawfully driving or taking a vehicle " 'proscribes a wide range of conduct.' [Citation.] A person can violate [Vehicle Code] section 10851[, subdivision] (a) 'either by taking a vehicle with the intent to steal it or by driving it with the intent only to temporarily deprive its owner of possession (i.e., joyriding).' [Citations.]" (People v. Garza (2005) 35 Cal.4th 866, 876.) Since section 490.2 amends only section 487 and any other provision defining grand theft, it is simply inapplicable to Vehicle Code section 10851. For this same reason, it is therefore irrelevant that Vehicle Code section 10851 is a lesser included offense of grand theft auto. Since the crime of unlawfully taking or driving a vehicle proscribes theft and nontheft activity, it is not anomalous to preclude this crime from section 490.2.
