A lot of cars have the possibility of remote control including US ones. Police in some places want to have the ability to disable cars to save having to chase cars. Too open to abuse or error for my liking.
I cannot see any situation short of D Day situations where anyone would benefit from a mass disabling of cars. Doing that would destroy the reputation of the manufacturer world wide. Even your least favorite politician is surely not that stupid.
Like Peter I have had a few English cars which had automatic random fails as a feature. Lucas electrics stopped many a car. You could fix English cars at the roadside which is just as well, you had to. All major manufacturers products are far more reliable now.
On Chinese EVs I have had the opportunity to examine a couple closely and found them to be very well made, certainly well up with the leading brands. They drove well too. Worthy competition for my Tesla S which has been loads of fun and totally reliable thanks. Never looked like running out of electricity either. Only tiny brain power and planning to avoid that problem, The car keeps you accurately notified about battery charge level.
