http://www.ieee-pses.org/symposium http://www.emc2004.org/ -------------------------------------------------- Hi All, If we could just throw off the bonds of this capitalist society and allow every person to be responsible for their own actions. Maybe some nonlegislated courtesies and common sense will dictate a correct course of action for stopping an automobile. Of course then all people will finally achieve a degree of personal satisfaction and not have to turn to a life of crime for the support of a family in the manner that the media has defined it. The left leaning non technical solution. Scott

Maybe the ultimate solution is to legislate that all vehicle computer software be based on a product from a well known operating system developer in Redmond Washington. That way the cops wouldn't have to do anything, just wait for the software to crash. The car will restart when all the windows have been closed. The only wrinkle to this is that hopefully the software in the police cruiser doesn't crash at the same time.

For those aluminum and plastic cars one of those big claw things would do the trick.

Chances are though that the civil rights folks would disagree (seat belts over again), the car makers would lobby against it (increased cost, reduced reliability) and it would be no time at all before someone came out with a dongle or jammer to defeat the security device anyway. Nope, my vote goes to the electromagnet swinging from a helicopter as per the old James Bond movie (don't recall which one, but it was set in Japan). It wouldn't work on landrovers (aluminium bodies) or TVRs (fibreglass) but it still sounds more practicable to me than the original proposal! Cheers, Richard Hughes.

If the police really want a way to stop an automobile, and the lawmakers and the public agree, then hooks could be put into new vehicles to stop them wirelessly. The police would simply command your vehicle OFF. Of course this would only work on new vehicles but then the proposed device is said to work with vehicles only up to 10 years of age. If a thief is knowledgeable enough to disable the wireless shutoff then he/she is knowledgeable enough to use an older, immune, automobile.
