An anti-carjacking system includes a transmitter programmed to receive a
selected vehicle identification number or other code for use with a car
assigned with that particular number or code. The system further includes
a receiver associated with the computer system of the car so identified
by the selected vehicle identification number and means for disabling
normal driving operation of the car. There is further provided means for
sending a disable command from the transmitter to the receiver so that
the particular car with the selected vehicle identification number is
rendered non-operational. The system may be implemented in various
embodiments including a modified car radio system and a RFID embedded
license plate configuration. Methods related to vehicle operation and
occupant safety are also provided.
