http://www.theage.com.au/news/nation...394689074.html Secretly ld love one of those battery operated ones to flick on when l see drivers on the phone! But not good as they block emergency vehicle transmissions....... Maybe the range could be smaller + be put inside cars to prevent phone use in moving car. l reckon all drivers caught texting should have their phone instantly confiscated and smashed by cops -- Meeba |

However, I believe the 40W device should come with big warning labels "if you value your balls, stay away from this". The (U.S.?) police are currently experimenting with microwave devices to disable post-1979 car electronics. I want one of those too. -- TimC We are no longer the knights who say "ni" We are the knights who say "icky icky (Comet) Ikeya-Zhang zoooboing!" --Lord Ender on /. |

Hmm there are quite a few critical systems which are now electronic on eg new Audis - you could find your gearbox suddenly going into reverse or engine management system going nuts and opening the throttle wide. Come to think of it, I bet the police are looking forward to the fun -- //Adam F |

Motor vehicle electronics lives within one of the most vicious electrical environments around. There's a lot of work that goes into not only shielding, but recovery (rebooting) of the microprocessor when things go wobbly. This is not a feature, you absolutely need it otherwise your car would work much like M$ Windows, it stops in the middle of the freeway, you turn off, crank again, and away you go. It's so good at it, it could crash and restart without the barest glitch as far as the driver is concerned. With this in mind, you would need some serious interference to clap out the thing. This is one of the things that I'd want to see before I believe it. -- Linux Registered User # 302622 http://counter.li.org |

Have you got a link for this? I'd take it with a grain of salt. Can't find the original link I read, so these dodgy news sites will do instead: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Fut...=538452&page=1 http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2007/1...-car-stop.html The piccie I saw was a ****off big cone shaped antennae (he he, I was going to do radio astronomy at some point in time, and I can't tell my various antennae apart) on the roof, hanging over the front of the police vehicle, directed at the chasee vehicle. I'd hate to get impaled on the antennae should things go wrong. -- TimC I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car. -- insurance claim |

http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2007/1...-car-stop.html "In tests on four vehicles, the researchers were able to disable cars from 10 to 50 feet away." :-) Hardly practical, considering the projected size of the transmission antenna.. Not something you could swivel in a practical manner on the side of the road, and probably not viable on the roof of a vehicle either... It'll be a long while before I become concerned about it. -- Linux Registered User # 302622 http://counter.li.org |

Come on Terry, you're not that stupid, are you? They're there in case of an emergency that they don't want to discuss on the radio. Theo |
