OR, sense when the car has come to a complete stop (say at a stop sign), and THEN kill the engine?
They can slow it down remotely. In that case, OnStar will work with the police in pursuit and slow the vehicle down when the police verify that it is safe to do so. I believe they drop it down to 9mph.
