Although this has nothing to do with IP communications, I thought it worth mentioning the end of car theft is likely right around the corner. Why? GM’s OnStar the satellite linked service which helps passengers get to restaurants can also be used to slowly bring a stolen vehicle to a halt. The service currently finds 700-800 stolen cars per month – now all that’s left is to find the cars with the thieves in them and then slowly kill the engine. This is a great example of technology making life a lot better for consumers.Here is more from the AP.
