I have heard that long ago in Europe they adopted internal electronic 'kill switches' on computer controlled cars, but then abandoned the concept b/c criminals were using the stop-devices for carjacking etc. Curious what folks on here would think about an expanded network of some kind of vehicle-disabling system like this. Even just for commercial vehicles, or perhaps something that required more than just a single-user device that could be compromised (like an auth/activation code from dispatch, or perhaps s/t that disabled all vehicles other than LEO's within a specific area). I know it is kind of deep-state big brother scary to think of them shutting down a car remotely, but these situations highlight the need to move beyond police tactics that rely upon physically catching and stopping criminals.
