GM OnStar System Plans to Stop Stolen Cars

The GM OnStar system is coming out with a new service that could literally stop a car that has been stolen and the radio could tell the thief to pull off to the side of the road because the police are watching. The system could also tell police where a stolen car is located. The officer could tell OnStar to slow down the moving vehicle to a halt.

Currently, drivers can call OnStar if they need emergency help with their car. Subscribers can choose not to have the new service if they don’t want it.

This could be a very useful service to decrease crime and car theft. It is estimated that 404 people were killed in the US last year in dangerous police car chases. The service could help high speed chases end less deadly. OnStar hopes that one day they will be able to have it to where a stolen car could be impossible to start.
