It does indeed, Giles, as I know from experience
You wouldn't even need a micro switch: you can just replace the motor
by a relay of the same nominal voltage and off you go (unlike the car)
But the range is very limited, only 10-20 meters. Apart from that it
works in the 27MHz band (at least here on the european continent)
which is very noisy. My sons racing car and later my camera motor
drive release got occasionally triggered by other systems working in
the same band.
