Police want to be able to control your car by remote (Big Brother)

Police call for remote button to stop cars

Motorists face new 'Big Brother' technology

In what will be seen as yet another example of the in-creasing power of Big Brother, drivers face the prospect of their cars being halted by somebody pushing a button.

'Providing an effective means to remotely stop a vehicle is fast becoming a priority,' Hammond told a European conference. 'The development of a safe and controlled system to enable remote stopping has the potential to directly save lives.'

Experts now believe the technology could start to be used voluntarily by the end of the decade and ultimately could be made mandatory.

The government wants to be able to control your car, for your own good.
