Yeah, it's possible. But no, nobody's done it yet.
The USA is working on a small EMP weapon (Electromagnetic Pulse) that can be fired from a truck or plane without destroying the vehicle. That will permanently destroy anything with a chip in it.
Such a thing already exists but at the moment it requires a large nuclear weapon detonated in the upper atmosphere. The US have very large EMP weapons designed to kill all electronic devices from your watch, to a bike's brain, to a vast server farm, to a whole city, all the way up to slagging all chips on an entire continent when used in an array.
Imagine the devastation if China got pissed off enough to fire an EMP (not hard for them to make) over the USA, and it would permanently shut down every car, bike, computer, etc etc. Permanently. Destroy every company, all refineries, all cities blacked-out, all cars immoblised.
Of course, the US military would retaliate with a full-scale nuclear strike because their systems are hardened against EMP, so although nothing in the US made after 1980 would work, China would be a glowing ruin.
