EU body has plan to allow for "remote stop" control of vehicles by authorities
http://j.mp/1cAAitp (Telegraph)
"The remote stopping and other surveillance plans have been signed off
by the EU's Standing Committee on Operational Cooperation on Internal
Security, known as Cosi, meaning that the project has the support of
senior British Home Office civil servants and police officers."

Stopping cars by remote control! What could go wrong? Hacker wet
dream: Stop all the cars on the freeway at once! Or for the true black
hats, only stop random cars on the freeway. Yeah, that's
entertainment.
