The X Net is an innovative tool designed to stop runaway vehicles by wrapping a strong net around their wheels. Unlike traditional road spikes, it tightens around the axles, preventing further movement even on flat tires. Made from Dyneema, a material 15 times stronger than steel, the net is easy to deploy and remove, offering a practical alternative to concrete barriers. It can halt vehicles as heavy as 5 tonnes and is gaining interest from police forces worldwide.
