New Korean hand held device can stop cars |
[AP NewsWire outpmpNews Story#487454]
New hand held device can slow down cars. At the Show Korean inventers
showed a small wireless chain size device that can be used by Police,
pedestrians and bicycle riders to slow and stop cars. The device can
slow down a car wirelessly by transmitting codes to the cars computer.
It has a range of 150 feet.

That's not a device that can stop cars. That's a remote for cars that can
be stopped by external commands. The car isn't going to slow down if it
doesn't receive and correctly act on those codes.

That sounds more like it.
If I'm not mistaken, somewhen in the sixties or seventies
they also built cars with doors that violently opened at the
push of a button. These doors caused so many lethal
accidents in such a short time, that they were promptly
outlawed ;-)
Or was it in Japan?

The hand-held RPG has been around for years, and can stop things MUCH
larger than a Hyundai ... wirelessly, too ... and a much longer range.
The Korean device won't work on my Dad's 1957 vintage Chevy, though.

Think it will work on a Ford Taurus?
Transmitting codes to the car's computer doesn't seem very useful unless
the car's computer has a radio receiver to receive them, knows how to
interpret the codes, and then acts on them. Otherwise you may as well be
transmitting software to a desktop computer with no WIFI.

Your vehicle's computer would therefore be deemed illegal,
and the vehicle impounded. Hackers and terrorists will have
a field day developing a similar device and aiming it on
random cars on US superhighways.
Of course it should be in a Faraday Cage anyway; a standard
gasoline vehicle environment is filled with sparking noise
generators (for a V-8, 8 of them). (Diesels are probably
a bit quieter, electrically speaking.)
