Traditional methods used to disable or stop fleeing vehicles, such as spike strips or physical ramming, often carry significant risks to public safety, the pursued driver, and police officers themselves. In response to this long-standing issue, Czech researchers have now developed a safer, non-destructive alternative.

The system, jointly developed by the Czech Technical University in Prague (ČVUT) and the Brno University of Technology (VUT) allows law enforcement officers to remotely disable or slow down a targeted vehicle using secure digital communication.
