Cute little fellars.. a drone is included.
Collect 'em if you can, I think they're unarmed.. but should be available with explosive options soon..

My 700 horsepower Dodge Hellcat eats those tiny police cars for lunch!
Or it would if I had one.

Even artifical intelligence is better than none at all I suppose.

I suddenly see where the future growth area of driverless technology lies and it is chilling.

You take these things out with an EMP.
So you pull the microwave out of the cubbyhole in your RV and open the door and point it at this car and turn the microwave on.
It’ll either stop the police car or pop the popcorn kernels you accidentally dropped on the floor of the RV.
Either way, you win.

My town has them, but we are going for the retro look.

I'd be willing to spend a lot of time hacking in to those or into their control network. Think of the fun you could have setting it back loose on the street. Program it to play bumper cars with its siblings. Have it do donuts in the middle of the busiest intersection during rush hour. So much fun - everybody is going to want several of their own!

Someone has to be on patrol for the five prayer periods.

A video of criminality would be devastating—or just put cameras everywhere, like Miami did.
