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.

Heres a video from February 2019 of German Police chasing a new Mazda on the Autobahn.....reality is often very far from what you might have heard.
