In addition to a GPS-style spy satellite system, the car could also have a high definition "rear parking assist" camera that could be used to focus on the number plate of a car tailing him, send the data to MI6, and get an answer as to who owns it within minutes. A similar camera could be mounted on the front. They could also be used for some discreet, strategic surviellance; Bond parks his car, walks away and lets the cameras record in real time for MI6.
Electronic countermeasures would also be possible - radar and radio jamming. Possibly mobile phones, too. And a chaff device that explodes in a shower of superfine metallic particles to distract an oncoming missile.
If the car is armoured, it could be converted into a mobile prison cell. High-end vaults and safes had a system where bolts fire into the frame of the safe, making it impossible to open. Bond's car could have a similar system, where rods in the reinforced doors lock into matching holes in the bodywork, making it impossible to open the doors from within.
For something a little more over the top, a self-destruct device that turns the car into a missile. The car locks on to a target in front, then uses a rocket booster - like the one in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS - to fire itself at the target. When in range, explosives packed into the car detonate.

They could also add a small gun, in the grill and back bumper, that shoots out small tracking devices, so Bond can track enemy cars without having the risk of being seen while tailing them.
Now my only issue is the car-into-a-missile.. it seems very Craig, but idk about rockets.
Sam [Mendes] is a huge, huge, HUGE Bond fan and has been all his life.

The look of the film may also be closing to Fleming. If so, in the hands of Deakins, this will look rather nice indeed. The characters being more Fleming, that's interesting. I'm sure M is first on the list for the 'novel' treatment.
I think people will be aware that QOS was generally seen as a bit of a damp squib and they will want to give something back to the audiences
For the 50th anniversary release you would hope we're being lined up something special, I guess it's a case of wait and see and all that
