right, because ABS does not work by pulsating the pads off and back on...
What I would do if it was a spy movie:
1. plant bomb underneath.
maybe just a small (hard to find) fuse in the gas tank.
make it activated by airbag sensors.
2. hijack car electronics
3. when target is inside, locks door.
accelerate and mess with brakes
4. he can turn as he wish. by the time he realizes what's going on,
all he can do is try to avoid a high speed crash by then.
5. with doors still locked, car crash and goes boom,
just like they do in hollywood.
all the evidence left would be a burnt fuse in the exploded gas tank, and the firmware on the burnt electronics.
- chaz 13y ago> right, because ABS does not work by pulsating the pads off and back on So ABS can fully cut off brake pressure? My understanding is that it relieves extra pressure and that regardless of the valve position, either full force of the pedal (including locking the brakes) or reduced relieved pressure is still sufficient to stop a vehicle. > What I would do if it was a spy movie All posible. My comment was really just a response to Richard Clarke's comment that it could have been an "untraceable" "car cyberattack."
