There are still options. It could sound an increasingly loud alarm, initially inside the cabin and then the horn too. It could start slowing the vehicle. It could turn on the hazard lights. All of these things could hopefully make the driver feel increasingly like an idiot, discouraging abuse.
Slowing the vehicle may increase the risk of a collision from behind, but that is balanced by the increased risk of not having a driver at the wheel.
