I’m much more impressed with the system that discharges an electrical surge causing the car to die. It fires out from the front of the police car pretty much the same way.
The big problem I see with this system is you’re assuming the guy will slow down and become “safe” once the cops back off.
And what Walter mentioned. By the time the cop catches up when the guy stops chances are the driver is long gone. Especially when he sees the monster GPS tracker stuck to his car.

Not to mention this thing probably has a line of sight range (the tracking device), so how will the officer pin the projectile on a fleeing vehicle without pursuing himself?How much more pursuit if traffic is in the way?
It’s a good idea, it will probably cut down on the amount of time in a high speed pursuit (if the cops are fortunate), but this won’t stop high speed chases entirely and it won’t always make high speed pursuits less dangerous.
