Submission + - OnStar 'ignition block' to disable stolen vehicles (autoweek.com)

OnStar, General Motors' in-vehicle safety and communications system, has launched a service to keep car thieves from starting a vehicle that has been reported stolen.
As of July 20, three stolen cars had been disabled by the technology, called "remote ignition block."
The feature is available on select 2009 and 2010 GM models. Subscribers must report their vehicles stolen to police officials and request assistance from OnStar, which then sends a signal that prevents the car from restarting.
The block adds to a suite of stolen-vehicle products, ranging from tracking by global positioning systems to a service designed to curtail high-speed police chases by conveying a signal that idles a stolen vehicle.

The process for deployment:
* An OnStar subscriber reports their vehicle stolen to authorities and requests stolen vehicle assistance from OnStar.
* Law enforcement provides confirmation to the OnStar Advisor that the vehicle is in fact stolen.
* The OnStar Advisor pinpoints the vehicle's exact GPS location and sends a remote signal to prevent stolen vehicle from starting the next time someone attempts to start it.
* On select models, authorities can also request Stolen Vehicle Slowdown if they have a clear line of sight of the stolen vehicle and confirm that conditions are safe to slow down the vehicle.
