It wont be a marketing gimmick, it will be legislated for your own good, just like seatbelts, airbags and cameras at intersections, it will help you to stay honest! Why wouldnt you want it, dont you wish to be safe? They are only trying to help!
BTW They couldve done away with chases a long time ago, if only they would learn to use their radios rather than adrenaline!

Just one more hackable device on the planet. Let them put this tech in every vehicle from my car and motorcycle to grandma's hoveround scooter. I don't care because there will be a way to hack it. Remote wireless signal? Jam it. Chip set? Pull and replace it. God I love a challenge.

It's a security feature that the owner has the right to refuse. I have to pull over for cops. It's the law. Trying to avoid it just makes things worse. Now there's the chance to make me comply before I kill somebody. What's wrong with that? Oh right. I don't get my high speed chance to get away.
