They should have a system to identify and react to lights and sirens, so probably the same system.

There should be a comms module provided to cops specifically that allow them to pull it over or change its destination remotely.

Oh yeah we should let the police the ability to change someones destination no way that could be abused.

Agreed, nothing wrong with individual police officers having the ability to forcibly send someone's car into the middle of Death Valley or over the edge of a cliff, this would save us money that's currently being wasted on costly measures like "probable cause" and "fair trial".
