The Auto-Jailer or "The Last Ride" system
The boy smashed the window of the car. Fumbled under the dash for a moment. The car started. He hears a faint whirring and knows his days of jacking cars is over... | |
O.K.. so somebody is gonna jack your car. maybe he is gonna sell it or perhaps its a stupid dare or something. So he gets into the car. Everything is going to plan. He hotwires it. No problems yet... He begins to drive. All is well... 60 seconds pass... a quick whirring sound and he is slammed into the
dash as the car stops. Instantaniously thin metal sheets shoot up covering all windows (front included) a yeild light emerges from the roof of the cab and fluorescent beacons warn those around that the vehicle is unmanned (the lockdown process should take around 2-3 seconds). suddenly the car starts up again and drives itself to the nearest police station with a very confused Thief in the front seat. the vehicle arrives at its destination where a group of officers (Pre-warned by a warning signal in the car) wait to escort the perp to a nice little cell untill his trial. Please ppl i've had 3 of my cars stolen. Support this 1.

The police out here are using decoy cars with tracking devices in them already..... |
|
|
this isn't a decoy. It is in YOUR car. |

I especially like the part where thae car gets into fifty accidents on the way to the police station.
Maybe just pull to the side and have an officer show up to investigate. |
|
|
[bovinemilk] No it's not, it's in YOUR car. I decline.... |
|
|
Why bother taking it to the station? Just leave it there for three to five years, with parole. |
|
|
baked... There are specially design cars that are used as decoys by the police and they can be shut down automatically by remote control, so they only get about a block away. |
|
|
They automatically lock their doors which cannot be opened from the inside. |
|
|
One of the cities in NE US recently used this to round up a dozen or so repeat car thieves. |
|
|
I'll support this in principle, but I don't see how you're going to get the car to drive itself anywhere. Besides, if the car thief can hotwire it to start it, couldn't he also turn it off? Maybe it could just lock itself down and, alert the cops, and refuse to budge (until the cops give it the right signal). |
|
|
i suppose the part where it drives itself is a bit far-fetched but is the rest ok? |
|

//he is slammed into the dash as the car stops. Instantaniously thin metal sheets shoot// through his various body parts forever ending his crime spree. |
|
|
Great idea!!! That'll teach those thieves. |
|
|
Sounds very improbable. Where are you going to hide shutters for all the windows? |
|
|
This is a little far-fetched, but I like [Detly]'s suggestion. Jolly well just have lock-down, call-the-cops feature. Forget the self-driving for a minute. |

I was thinking, just the lock down. |

E"quip" the lock-down car with zingy one-liners. |
|
|
"You couldn't jump start a lighter..." |
|
|
Equip the lock down with Michael Bolton music, if you can call it that. |
|
|
Sitting in a pitch black car listning to Michael Bolton!!! Isn't that a bit hasrsh? Getting arrested is one thing but physchological torture is a bit sadistic. |
|
|
Funny to hear this coming from the mad scientist. |
|
|
They called him maaaad at the university! But not at the music conservatory.... |
|
|
Or did you mean his spelling? |
