Considering we are all made of water, and microwaves work by stimulating water molecules, this sounds like a bad idea, not to mention that millions of people have ICDs, and Pacemakers. which is the main reason why they don't use the already available EMP technology.

This capability has been around for well over a decade, it just hasn’t been installed on a vehicle in a practical manner.
PS: It will wipe out your radio presets too... don’t ask me how I know this.

To bring an opposing vehicle to a halt, the 200-pound device is attached to the roof of a car. Can someone find that picture of Jake and Elwood in the Bluesmobile, "taking it to the streets?"

Interesting.
It is a challenge to operate one of these beasties with a microcontroller that won't blow its own brains out.
How I know this I could tell you, but I'd have to zap you afterwards <}B^)
The police car in the picture with the article, by the way, is a 10-inch model that lives in the owner's office.

(My simplifying explanation had the disconcerting side effect of making the subject incomprehensible.)
