I've been told part of the OBD III standard includes a way to disable a car
remotely for emissions purposes.  

As for data recording, I know a GM air bag module will record up to 6 crash
events in memory to prove the air bag did deploy.  A mid 90's BMW ( 7 series ?
) will record a engine over rev, even though the ECM has a fuel cutoff
revlimiter.
