Default Car Flarm

How come the violator's brakes aren't applied, instead? Or maybe a bolt of
energy from your forward phasors could simply disable the offending vehicle.

Almost all the promoting videos show collisions when running red lights,

I read how this works in an industry electronics mag. The GPS knows you are
approaching a traffic light and the device checks the (smart) traffic light
status (via a radio link). It knows you have a green light. Next it scans
the signals from all cars in the area. They should be stopped or slowing if
they have a red light. If they are not, your brakes are applied as you
approach the intersection and the device alerts you that someone is "running
the light"!
