Abstract
An errant vehicle interdiction device for stopping errant vehicles includes a transmitting unit that is line-of-sight limited. The transmitting unit emits a brake command and an engine off command. The device comprises a receiving unit that is coupled to a vehicle. The receiving unit is operationally coupled to the central processing unit of the vehicle. The receiving unit is positioned to receive the brake command and the engine off command from the transmitting unit. The receiving unit relays the commands to the central processing unit of the vehicle. The central processing unit of the vehicle issues the brake command to the braking system of the vehicle and the engine off command to the engine of the vehicle, bringing the errant vehicle to a stop.
