she used nanomachines to modify the cars so that she could control them wirelessly. she is designed to assimilate other machines... if they aren't capable of doing what she wants, then she "rebuilds" them. by the time she was done with them, those vehicles were basically cars of the future (except they still run on gasoline)

Radio waves can go anywhere they want, but you need a receiver to intercept the transimission. Like I said, I could get over the remote control part because emergency vehicles carry sophisticated communications equipment. I can see how she could have modified what was on board to receive signals she was emitting. What I can't see is how the cars were able to tell her where Arnold was. Like I said in my original post, the ems vehicles don't have the type of sensors necessary to relate that info back to her. Therefore, the only way she could have controlled the ems vehicles and attack Arnold was to have everybody in her line of sight which she clearly didn't.
And you still need some physical device to turn the steering wheel, and press on the gas and breaks. From what I understood of the dialogue, the new terminator in essence can reprogram other machines to control them, it didn't say anything about rebuilding them.
