Motorola's Proposed Autonomous Cop Car Sounds Like Judge Dredd's New Car
Picture the scene: a police officer makes an arrest and puts the suspect into a car. The car then drives off autonomously, identifies the occupant using facial recognition, scans them for weapons and performs a breath test to check for substance abuse, before linking up to a local courtroom via a live feed where a judgement is passed.
Sounds like the Halls of Justice just gave Judge Dredd a new car, but this is an actual idea for the real world dreamt up by Motorolla. Slightly creeped out? You’re not the only one.
The company filed a patent in the USA detailing the concept, which even includes a chip and pin payment machine to allow offenders to pay fines mid-journey.
This proposed mobile justice dispenser is all about increasing efficiency when it comes to processing criminals, although it’s unlikely to be something we’ll see as anything other than this patent for many years, if at all.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

When they become as cheap as crown vice are today I want to program one to make snarky remarks based of what you say in a New York accent
Seriously??.They can design an high tech autonomous car but they can’t give the android update they promised a year ago.
F them.
Well, they are owned by Lenovo, and as anyone who owns a Lenovo android device knows: their updates take ages to come
Jesus H Christ. That is horrible. Terrifying.
Exactly, who’s gonna tell me not speed now?

If im super drunk the last thing i want is to go to the court room the same night as i get arrested, seems unfair
No more putting tapes of your high speed runs in your pants…

Nokia should do one, could be a good rival for the hummer
Probably the worst idea of any large company so far
