Hi,
What's all this business I hear people talking about blasting people's
car stereos or killing cars altogether with high-power RF?


Seems reasonable that high intensity RF could incapacitate the modern
electronics that control your average car these days. Put enough RF
at the right frequency in the right place and you can disrupt just
about anything. I'd bet that the stories are based somewhat in truth.


An Electro Magnetic Pulse would kill cars, like if a nuclear weapon
was detonated (not detonated near the car in question for example,
the car would be dust if it did) and fry the electronics so purvasive
in today's automobiles.
