Police Minister Mark Ryan says Queensland has succeeded in having the issue of Remote Engine Immobilisers put on the agenda for discussion at a national level.<\/p>\n

The immobilisers, which police could activate if a vehicle was stolen, will be discussed at the next Ministerial Council of Police and Emergency Management Ministers.<\/p>\n

Mr Ryan said that with the rapid development of in-car technologies, it was time to start a conversation about how to improve road safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemote Engine Immobilisers could be used to slow and take control of a stolen car and thereby greatly reduce the possibility of high-speed chases involving police,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Ryan said the technology had been available for installation in private vehicles since 2009 in the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n

RACQ Technical and Safety director Steve Spalding said as these technologies became more common, there was an opportunity to reduce the high-risk situations which occurred when a vehicle was stolen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFuture vehicle technologies, particularly as we move towards connected and autonomous cars, will have greater capabilities to be remotely tracked and safely controlled,\u201d Mr Spalding said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe technology exists. We need to see manufacturers adopt it more widely and show consumers how it can make their vehicles safer and more secure.”<\/p>\n

Queensland Police Union president Ian Leavers has been advocating for the technology for the past five years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis remote engine immobiliser technology is available right now,” Mr Leavers said.<\/p>\n

“If we mandated it in all new cars sold, as we have previously done with ABS brakes and airbags, then it a few years\u2019 time, most cars on the road would possess this technology, so I call on all governments across Australia to support our proposals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minister Ryan said getting the issue on the Ministerial Council agenda was a good start but many challenges laid ahead.<\/p>\n

It would be a significant political issue involving several branches of government as well as all car manufacturers operating in the Australian market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
