I think these should be installed in cars in such a way that they can be removed by owners. And then make removing it a crime.
In the foreign invasion (or US govt goes full fascist) case, people can remove these devices.
Meanwhile many if not most high-speed chases won't happen any more, because the person being chased didn't plan ahead.
There will still be getaway cars, etc. where the device was removed. That's no different to what we have now, and it'll be an extra violation to charge them with when they're caught.
Since driving is, and has always been a privilege and not a right, I don't see a problem with having a remote kill switch that cops can use in specific cases.
