Car ThievesCouldBe Stopped Remotely(遥远地)
Speeding off(超速行驶) in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch.But he is in a nasty surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer(使车辆不能调动的装置), and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine {{U}} (51) {{/U}}, he will not be able to start it again.
For now, such devices {{U}} (52) {{/U}} only available for fleets of trucks and specialist vehicles used on construction sites.But remote immobilization(使车辆不能调动) technology could soon start to trickle(慢慢地移动) down to ordinary cars, and {{U}} (53) {{/U}} be available to ordinary cars in the UK {{U}} (54) {{/U}} two months.
The idea goes like this.A、control box fitted to the car incorporates {{U}} (55) {{/U}} iniature cellphone (移动电话，手机), a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. {{U}} (56) {{/U}} the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicles engine management system and prevent the engine {{U}} (57) {{/U}} restarteD、
There are even plans for immobilizers {{U}} (58) {{/U}} shut down vehicles on the move, though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system.
In the UK, an array of technical fixes is already making {{U}} (59) {{/U}} harder for car thieves. The pattern of vehicles crime has changed, says Martyn Randall of Thatcham, a security research organization based inBerkshire that is funded in part {{U}} (60) {{/U}} the motor insurance industry.
He says it would only take him a few minutes to {{U}} (61) {{/U}} a novice(新手，初学者) how to steal a car using a bare minimum of tools.But only if the car is more than 10 years olD、
Modern cars are a far tougher (艰苦的) proposition (任务), as their engine management computer will not {{U}} (62) {{/U}} them to start unless they receive a unique ID、code beamed out by the ignition(点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this {{U}} (63) {{/U}} achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars. Often by getting hold of the owners keys in a burglary (夜窃行为；盗窃). In 2000, 12 per cent of vehicles stolen in the UK were taken using the owners keys double the previous years figure.
Remote-controlled immobilization system would {{U}} (64) {{/U}} a major new obstacle in the criminals way by making such thefts pointless.A、group that includes Thatcham, the police, insurance companies and security technology firms have developed standards for a system that could go on the market sooner than the {{U}} (65) {{/U}} expects.
