Australians Developing High Tech Holden Cop Car

Australian police are prepared to roll out a futuristic new weapon in the fight against crime, a Holden VE Commodore that might make James Bond feel spoiled for choice.
A product of the collaboration between the Australian National Safety Agency, Holden, and Motorola, this concept law enforcement vehicle incorporates multiple advanced technologies. While the project was initially developed to address problems with heat and power management, the team realized that the use of a powerful all-in-one computer could fix those issues while providing other advantages.

The Holden unit contains voice recognition software that let officers keep their hands in place on the wheel, as well as cameras that can bean the action in real-time to communications centers. There’s also an automatic license plate recognition camera proficient enough to scan 5000 to 8000 cars in a 10-hour period.
Another super-cool, high tech feature is a firing mechanism that can launch a GPS enabled dart into a fleeing vehicle, allowing authorities to pursue an offender while avoiding dangerous high-speed pursuits.
