Stealing occupied automobile
Carjacking is the crime of stealing a vehicle from its driver through force or intimidation, typically while the victim is stopped at a light or in a parking lot.
Unlike auto theft, carjacking involves direct confrontation—the driver is present and often threatened with violence: He was charged with armed carjacking after pulling a gun on the driver.
