Seems that this uses substantially different principles from the usual defibrillator capacitor true EMP devices used earlier.
Its similar in operation to a military radar, and works by injecting signals into the ECU directly using the frequently unshielded wiring between the various controllers and a proprietry waveform tuned to the car being targetted.

The firm added that it did not believe the RF Safe-Stop posed any risk to people using a pacemaker.

Gee, you would think they would test that before deciding that a HERF is a good way to stop a car. Have they considered the spread of the beam and the thousands of dollars of damage they could do to near by cars if the operator has bad aim? Its only barely a good idea to trust people with guns (police included) handing out monster RF transmitters to people who cant even grasp its theory of operation and the damage it can do is not a good idea.

As the article points out "But because the device works on electronic systems, he acknowledged that it would not work on all older vehicles.

'Certainly if you took a 1960s Land Rover, there's a good chance you're not going to stop it,' "
So it's only going to work if people are not expecting it and haven't chosen their vehicle appropriately (or, just shielded the wiring)

<<the firm added...it believed...>> Yak yak...

During WWII people looking down the RF wave-guide also made statements that they "thought" it was perfectly safe too.....also tell that to the family of those killed by these so called "safe" Tazers... Once it is in the hands of an operator that has basically no idea of what they are using you can be sure there will be abuse. Note that the video has no technical mention of power just the band used....
