A protocol needs to be in place that allows the police to signal the vehicle to "pull over" and come to a stop.
Pulling in front of the car and slowing down, with another vehicle on the side if needed to prevent changing lanes, will do this quite effectively without the need for remote control. Since we're operating on the assumption that the car is inherently going to be obeying traffic laws to begin with, it's unlikely that any legitimate need to pull the car over would be something a single officer would be addressing anyway.
