I got an e-mail from a relative of mine who lives in the UK. He has been involved in the car/computer business since the early 1960's. He was part of the IBM team that installed the first computer automated automobile production line in the world back in 1962 for Chrysler. He then went to Japan an lectured the Japanese automobile manufacturers on how to do it. So you might say he is directly responsible for the rise of the Japanese Auto makers. Later he went to the USSR and helped install a computer system in their auto plants in the early 1970's.
Anyway I digress, his latest e-mail is about this exact discussion. He is currently a consultant for a UK company that is installing a Lo Jack type of system that would disable a car if it is stolen...So now when they catch you speeding they get to turn your car off as well as give you a ticket. LOL
