Remotely immobilising cars could be a game-changer in fighting crime, especially stopping fleeing drivers, the Police Association says. "There's no easy answer and there won't be until we can remotely immobilise vehicles," Police Association president Chris Cahill said. He said feasible remote immobilisation technology would likely be fitted during manufacturing, rather than at dealerships. But he said if more and more new cars had the technology, it would be a "game changer". Matthew-Wilson, who edits car review website dogandlemon.com, said using the technology for New Zealand law enforcement faced many challenges.
