Remote stop the car by the police, whether it be real?

MaC

English police put forward an interesting idea. Producer should install the system of remote control in every single vehicle and the police would have access to it. In this way, the system would facilitate intervention for officers, for example the driver doesn't want to stop for a check -  one click and the car is stopped.


Certainly, it brings about certain dangers, above all,  the possibility to access our car by the third parties namely hackers. The experiment conducted by Chinese scientists could be an example.

They took over the control of the going car which was equipped with the system providing the access to the Internet.


In what way?

It is enough to connect to the infected hotspot.

The scientists from China were able to remotely control Tesla Model Sec. from the other vehicle.


What were they able to do?
For example they could activate brakes when the vehicle was in motion.

Do you think the idea of English police is going one step too far? Isn't it too big control over the life of citizens?
