immobilisers
Devices stopping motion
Immobilisers are devices that prevent something from moving.
In automotive contexts, an immobiliser is an electronic security system that prevents an engine from starting without the correct key or transponder: The car wouldn't start because the immobiliser didn't recognize the replacement key.
