For one thing, they'll need to fit the technology onto every vehicle. There are hundreds of models of vehicles out there, are they going to develop a custom solution for every one? Or is this going to be a generic power cutoff?
Cutting the power to a moving vehicle is a hell of a lot more dangerous than allowing the driver to continue doing whatever he was doing. Any modern vehicle will lose power steering and power assisted braking when the power is cut, meaning the driver will probably smoke the innocent person on the road with him.
It is also futile, because anything installed like this into a car will be succeptible to being tampered with. Criminal drivers won't be affected by any sort of remote control system when they can take their car to a garage down the street and have the guy there disable it for a couple hundred dollars. Who loses? Drivers and taxpayers who have to pay to have these useless devices installed.
Who would want their car to be able to be controlled wirelessly by "a higher authority"? How do you know the one with the controls is trustworthy? Think of the fun that someone could have when they figured out how to control other people's cars without authorization? Oh, that's safe.
Long story short, don't worry, it won't happen.

Exactly, something like this just wont work out like planned.
