#RF Safe-Stop can shut down a vehicle s engine by blasting radio waves Will high-speed car chases become a thing of the past?
A company in the U k. has developed a prototype that could stop cars in their tracks by blasting electromagnetic waves.##
In demonstrations seen by the BBC, a car drove towards the device at about 15mph (24km/h). As the vehicle entered the range of the RF Safe-Stop,
and the car rolled gently to a halt. Digital audio and video recording devices in the vehicle were affected also.

Uber is launching a pilot program to finance new cars. The company is partnering with GM, Toyota,

called coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS). By focusing these laser beams onto the nanodiamond, a high-resolution CARS image is generated.
Using an in-house built microscope, the research team was able to measure the intensity of the CARS light on a series of single nanodiamonds of different sizes.
The nanodiamond size was measured accurately by means of electron microscopy and other quantitative optical contrast methods developed within the researcher's lab. In this way,
they were able to quantify the relationship between the CARS light intensity and the nanoparticle size.
Consequently, the calibrated CARS signal enabled the team to analyse the size and number of nanodiamonds that had been delivered into living cells,
and has exciting potential for the car space and defense industries. Current powder metallurgy or liquid processing methods fail to achieve uniform processing says research leader Junfeng Guo who is from the A*STAR Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology.

These devices are distinct from previous attempts in car hacking not in function but in initiation.
