Cars will obey remote commands.

The new anti-theft system from General Motors and OnStar has the talking name Stolen Vehicle Slowdown and allows the owner to control his car remotely, as if it were a small radio car from a toy store.

In particular, from a remote computer you can gradually slow down the car's engine against the wishes of the driver. At the same time, the steering wheel and the brake continue to operate as before, so that the thief can only be pulled over and stopped.

Naturally, human rights activists immediately expressed their indignation at such technologies that threaten to turn the country's car park into one big computer matrix.

The system developer assures that this is impossible, because only the police can activate remote control during the chase and only at the request of the owner of the car. GM has already decided to implement the Stolen Vehicle Slowdown feature in 1.9 million new cars, which will come off the assembly line in 2009.
