Car Theft Controller

Car Theft Controller - a GSM Technology based alert which is installed in your car.

If any unknown enters into the car, the Infra Red system detects that and activates the sim which is inside your car. The technology used is GSM and not CDMA as it has a better coverage.
It will then send you a message that your car is in danger.All you have to do is send a message saying "Seize the engine" and the engine would get jammed in seconds.
Now the problem is that if any friend lends your car for a day(or two..or three ;-)), all you have to do is stop the infra red syatem from detecting any kind of signal. The procedure is same..just send an SMS to your car.
Isnt that simple and great? What makes it more interesting is that it is not designed by some High profile engineers but a group of students who are pursuing their engineering. It really makes me feel WOW!

that sounds interesting...the only problem is that IR can only detect presence of someone and can not detect if the person is a stranger or friend.
Also, reg engine seizure...almost all good cars already have engine Immobalizers to take care of unauthorized entry.
