A variation on Vehicular Sabotage, Murder by Remote Control Vehicle is an attempt to kill someone by somehow taking control of their vehicle from a distance and causing it to crash at high speed. Exactly how the villain gains control of the hero's vehicle is sometimes explained (e.g. leaving a remote-controlled vehicle for them to find during their escape), but can be just Handwaved, or no explanation given at all. One reason for doing this is the villain wishes to watch their demise while remaining at a safe distance. If this is the case, expect the villain to have installed a speaker in the vehicle so they can taunt the hero, and to give the hero a few close shaves before going for the kill. The hero will use this time to come up with a clever escape from the situation. So far as we know, this is not Truth in Television yet, but cars are becoming increasingly computerized and computer scientists have demonstrated that it is possible to hack into cars that have wireless connectivity. Car manufacturers are now being warned to take computer security into account, especially as self-driving cars become more common. Compare Car Fu and Make It Look Like an Accident. For this trope's little sister, see Deadly Remote Control Toy. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

An episode of CSI: NY features a Serial Killer whose gimmick is remotely sabotaging computer systems (e.g. changing the ordering system of a restaurant so a victim with an allergy has their meal loaded with allergens and blocking the emergency call). His first kill was a variation of this trope; he hacked the GPS of the victim's (expensive) car so it would take them to a bad part of town, lock up the doors and engine, and then sound the car alarm to lure in crooks. | |

The Dukes of Hazzard: Season 7 brought "Danger on the Hazzard Express", where Boss schemes with two robbers plan to steal the General Lee and, after placing a remote-control device in the engine and steering gear, use it to crash into a train carrying $2 million to the state's reserve. The trope kicks into effect when the robbers – realizing that Bo and Luke will come after them – plan to kidnap the Duke boys, restrain them inside the car, and then crash the car into the train. (Boss, knowing what this means, immediately turns against his associates when they refuse to back down. And of course, the Duke boys do manage to regain control of the car and eventually defeat the bad guys.) | |

Happens in the opening of King Of The Rocket Men, the 1949 Republic Film Serial that kicked off the Rocketman character. A scientist gets into his car only to find it's been modified by the shadowy Dr. Vulcan, who uses remote control radio waves to send it off a cliff. The same thing happens to the hero, who of course escapes. The scene is Gag Dubbed in J-Men Forever when the Lightning Bug causes numerous crashes by playing loud rock music. | |

The Shadow: In a 1939 episode called "The Inventor of Death", some mysterious force takes control of the car Margot Lane is driving and crashes it, injuring both Margot and Lamont Cranston (aka The Shadow), while killing their passenger. It later turns out the car was remote-controlled by a Mad Scientist who has also invented a killer robot. This may be the Ur-Example. | |

In the latter two Watch_Dogs games, the Player Character can pull this on unsuspecting foes: since every car is connected to CtOS, they can be hacked and commanded to drive forwards, backwards, left or right.

While bicycling about a wooded area, Jessica discovers the murder weapon and decides to take a closer look at the station wagon's inner workings. Once inside, however, she becomes trapped when someone in a van operates the remote control device to lock her inside, to activate the automobile's engine, and to steer her away at a dangerous speed, en route to an overhang above the rocky seacoast. | |

Catfishing on CatNet: When CheshireCat hacks a self-driving car and plows it into Steph's dad, they're not, strictly speaking, attempting to kill their target — they had accounted for the possibility of their target's death and wouldn't particularly have minded it, but the purpose of the exercise was to stop him from kidnapping Steph. It's still close enough to worry other characters, though — Annette, CheshireCat's creator, has set up alerts for just this sort of thing in case CheshireCat goes rogue, and quickly disconnects CheshireCat from the internet. | |

Doctor Who: "The Sontaran Stratagem" starts with a journalist being killed by her own car when its emissions reduction system (part of a planet-conquering ploy by the eponymous Sontarans) takes over. The Doctor is then himself trapped in a car controlled by a murderous AI, but escapes by using a Logic Bomb. (The AI had been programmed to kill the Doctor and to disobey any order the Doctor gave it, so the Doctor ordered it to kill him.) "The Bells of Saint John", the Villain of the Week shuts off all the lights in the suburb except those of the house where Clara Oswald lives, presenting a bullseye for the airliner that's about to come down on their heads. Escaping is easy as the Doctor's TARDIS is right outside, but stopping the airliner crashing means they have to materialise on board and fix the problem before it hits the ground. "Spyfall": The Doctor and her companions are picked up in an SUV by MI6. On their way there, the vehicle is abruptly hacked and the driver disintegrated. The SUV is then nearly driven backwards over a precipice before the Doctor manages to stop it by ripping off the rearview mirror and using it to reflect the disintegrator ray back into the dashboard computer, halting the vehicle centimetres from the edge. |

Criminal Minds: One episode has an unsub who's able to hack into airplanes via the in-flight entertainment systems. He doesn't so much fly the planes remotely as lock them into autopilot and cut off ground communication, then deploy the landing gear and slats, causing the planes to crash (though he does take manual control when confronted by the team). Another episode has an unsub hacking cars and causing them to hit random pedestrians. He eventually has a breakdown and abducts the woman who'd turned him down, remote controlling her car while he's in the passenger seat. |

The Murderbot Diaries In "All Systems Red", the autopilot of the expedition hopper is shut down as they're crossing a mountain range. Fortunately the pilot has her hands on the controls at the time. Everyone thinks this is a glitch until another expedition on the planet is massacred by their own sabotaged SecUnits. In "Artificial Condition", Murderbot is bodyguarding some researchers going to meet a Corrupt Corporate Executive who, it turns out, is just luring them into a trap. While on the space shuttle to their destination, killware is downloaded into the shuttle's computer destroying the pilot bot. Fortunately Murderbot has recently made the acquaintance of a sentient spacecraft who downloads itself and corrects their course before the humans on board have time to do more than say Oh, Crap! In "Exit Strategy", a space battle between two corporate gunships begins with one of them loading a self-aware sabotage program into the other, which proceeds to shut down the engines and weapons, and attempts to open the airlocks. |

MacGyver (2016): "CO2 Sensor + Tree Branch" had a hacker taking over "Bruno", the military-grade (read:tank-like) car drone developed by Mac's Girl of the Week and going on a destructive rampage that was going to culminate with it shooting up the Pentagon unless the Phoenix team stopped it. The hacker turned out to be the (former) computer mogul who originally organized the drone competition that "Bruno" was built for, who was protesting the military's decision to take over his contest (even ruining him when he refused) and use it to find tech for next-generation Attack Drones when he explicitly wanted the drones to be used for ferrying wounded soldiers trapped in hostile territory. | |
