In Japan, Godzilla already does that, up to 180kmh on roads, with the limiter removed on approved race tracks. The technology is here, and I'm sure the fun police will do that here.Originally Posted by Jeff Sichoe

Just about anything can put Lucas electrics on the fritz - wrong day of the week, humidity over 10%, you name it.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

True, but it was always fixable - we got good at fixing it because we had lots of practice :-) On my carbed bikes (all except the Vrod) I can at least halfway get to the diagnose-and-treat stage with fuel starvation signs or electrics shutting down. On the standard Vrod I would not know where to start diagnosing the EFI system and on the turbo Vrod I'd probably just check it had gas in the tank and then call the tow truck!
Well, this is awkward...
I thought the future of police chases would be drones...maybe a drone with one of these mounted on it?

if thats bad enough? Magnetic of high levels of RF affect pacemakers...
can see the Headlines... Police stop high speed car chase.... several pedestrians killed/injured as the pursued car goes off the road...

As a long standing, now ex Landrover owner you're not kidding. You've know idea what it was like getting my first non LR vehicle - a Honda CB160. Unreal being able to ride at night/in the rain and get back.

Can't see this technology making it into production. It works by generally disrupting electronic devices. What if:
* It disrupts a pace maker, killer the person in the car.
* Disrupting electronics produces a more random effect. Sure it may kill the engine. What about if you have a drive by wire steering system, and the vehicle suddenly and violently pulls to one side - or prevents the driver from steering around a corner or obstacle?
* What if it causes ABS brakes to violently lock on - or fail to lock on preventing the driver from stopping?
It sounds just too dangerous.

They are a bit of a one shot device to really. To create an EMF burst suitablely large, you need a big magnetic field to collapse suddenly. This is done by have a high voltage/current running through coil then breaking the circuit very quickly. So whatever is running it would need some serious juice/battery power behind it... especially to target something up to 50m away...

There is also a GPS blip around Matamata.You could only imagine the speed figure that would pop up when you go through the new Auckland tunnel then ... goes in @100kmh .... looses cell reception .... pops out the other side doing 100kmh according to the clock but the gps system says otherwise & pings you for doing 350kmh
Something happens to trip the gps to thinking it has just gone a massive distance. the top speed stays the same but the average speed goes up to over 3000 km/hr.
I thought it was a once off but every time i go down SH27 it happens.
It's dem aliens again.

Ever seen a cop chase from the USA? they don't care so if this has a working model you can bet they will use it.
Otherwise tuff shit. who cares. should have stopped.
