SF writer Greg Bear , generator of classics like Darwin ’s Radio and Blood Music , wrote a novel that predicted yesterday ’s proclamation from OnStar that they would be instal systems that reserve police force to shut your car down . The OnStar organisation is call “ Stolen Vehicle Slowdown , ” and when trip would decelerate down and stop a move car that police believe meets “ required criteria . ” Bear ’s imaginary organization is called Cop Block , and it appear in his recent novel Quantico . In Quantico , police suspicion is aroused by anyone who does not have Cop Block instal in their cars . Sounds moderately close to material sprightliness . What Bear does n’t get into is what the blogosphere is buzzing about decently now : what happens if somebody parody a signal to OnStar and starts shut out cars down on the freeway ? It would be sort of like television - barn - Gone , except dangerously mortal . AP Photo by Douglas C. Pizac .
