No doubts there. Just another skill that car-jackers would learn. Though - since it's computerized, they'd have to do some serious tampering to stop it. Like disabling OnStar tampering...not an easy task I'd imagine.

Absolutely - I'd love to start hearing news reports about how such-and-such a criminal got their vehicle disabled thanks to GM's OnStar. Allowing the capture, and potentially saving the lives of innocent drivers.
btw...I wonder if they could keep the criminal locked inside the car, too.
