 FACT: In the movie, Ben Gates, Abigail Chase, and Riley Poole  commandeers Patrick Gates Cadillac DeVille and were able to  successfully escape capture by the authorities. In reality, the  model DeVille they borrowed would have had OnStar as standard  equipment. This means that the authorities would have been able to  immediately locate the Cadillac via satellite through the OnStar  service. The police would have likely used the information obtained  through OnStar satellite tracking to set up a strategic interception  of the car while it was on the move, ruining any chance of escape  for the three.
