This thread is way off topic, but fun. .
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.

Hey I like the electromagnet idea! For those aluminum and plastic cars one of
those big claw things would do the trick.

Agreed your idea sounds a better solution. 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.

A crude device. 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.
