Wageslave, it generates MV/m in the wiring that burns out diodes etc in the sound system, and the rest of the car electrics. In theory a diesel car will continue though I suspect with so much modern electronics the diesel would fail too.
Most modern vehicles may be stopped, but unless one completely fries the electrics their ecus will simply reset and the engine may be restarted.
