So if your running an older bike ... that does not have any of this flash ECU stuff ... hows that going to work ?

You would hope, as one comment said, that the radio frequency was not being used by other equipment. Before long they will have the tech to govern vehicle speeds by senders along the highways...Originally Posted by shafty

Nicely ! (As in, not at all?)

Poorly, and if the rider has a pacemaker (as those who ride dinosaurs might very well do), perhaps catastrophically.

Noice ... if it gets implemented ... will be time to go back to an older bike ... Poked & stroked
Failing that just find a way to shield it from interference

This is where those tin-foil hats might come in handy...

You were close with the hats thing ... but this may work better around the ECU & critical ECU wiring tho .

THis may not be as safe as it sounds - especially at high speed.
Given that most cars on the road have power assisted brakes and steering, at high speed (i.e. as in a chase) the sudden loss of an engine with the consequent loss of steering and brakes might be disasterous.The RF [radio frequency] is pulsed from the unit just as it would be in radar; it couples into the wiring in the car and that disrupts and confuses the electronics in the car, causing the engine to stall, he said.

Would be interesting if they could target it to just 1 victim. And yes you do have to worry about other electronic devices.....pacemakers.
running older bikes....just keep running.

LOL Unless it is your bikerunning older bikes....just keep running.

Here's a link from MIT about the technology. Seems it needs to be aimed through non metal gaps, and doesn't yet have much range. So if you shielded your ignition system it wouldn't work anyway....plus if you were going fast enough it would kill your engine, you'd coast through and then it would start up again

Talk shit. Get hit
Just detonate a nuclear warhead in a low earth orbit while your at it. Fry all electronics on one side of the earth. Hooning problem = Solved.
