ya well all they did was stall the engine, they didn't tell the car to apply the brakes.

With what certainty did they know that was going to happen?

because they had previously tested it and knew what each function was doing. this was the Hackers movie with them flying around a computer and poking and prodding random things.

How did they know they would only affect the one car they were targeting? What if another similar car also stalled out?
