1.he gets caught by the popo.
2.he runs out of fuel.
3.he turns off the car but doesnt have the key to turn it back on

It would be better if they can make in a way that if you ever get car jacked that if the fob key is not near buy oh say so many feet, the car would auto shut off.
So, if you did get car jacked start running away, so by the time he or she gets in the car and start to drive of the engine shuts off.
I would think that would be feasible.

That wouldn't be safe. What if the battery died while you were driving. If the car shut off it would put you in a potentially dangerous position. They could probably wire the panic button so it killed the engine but have a locking tab on it so it couldn't be accidentally depressed.
