I had this idea years ago. Just fit it to every new car made and the police can use it only if you fail to stop. Obviously there would be ways to remove it or modify the ECU but most car chases are spontaneous heat of the moment situations. Unless you're planning on a robbery you don't expect to be chased by the police.
Oh thats gonna be one fun motherfucker to abuse
Been in the US for a few years now - this is one of those anti-crime features that OnStar can perform.
I don't trust them with designing a system that can't be exploited by 3rd parties.
In the future, when we get government controlled cars and government monitored internet, future generations are going to wonder how we let this happen.
And we'll tell them "We were thinking about you."

Shit that sounded really fucking lame.

And create a market for products that both abuses it, and disables it.
Thus nulling the advantage of having it in the first place.

And because of how laughably lax OnStar's security actually is you can fairly easily impersonate the actual owner of a car and have it remotely shut down, unlocked, even started. All by phone.
'Tis why systems like this are a bad idea. They're just too easy to abuse. And bypass. Just buy an older car.
Fuck no. Think of all the abuse and what not. It's way too dangerous.
Aside from all that, most cars disable the ABS and the power steering when you turn off the engine.
