I wouldn't be surprised if cars in the future were required to include remote controllable electronics, so that the cops could just stop it with the click of a button.electronboy said:wait til they can get an electro magnetic pulse (EMP) beam narrow enough to hit only a single vehicle. That will be the ultiimate solution. Fry the cars electronics and the vehicle will be disabled immediately.![]()
