Road Predator: Member's Watch Out 4 the below Machine chas'in YOU


Scarab police chase assistant.


Posted by Joshua Condon on Thursday, June 10, 2010 12:40 PM

While the Scarab police chase assistant seems like a good idea -- outsource high-speed chases to an autonomous or remotely controlled vehicle, thus putting fewer police officers' lives in danger -- I have an issue with the fundamental concept behind the vehicle.

Designed by Carl Archambeault, a graduate of the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, the Scarab fuses two ideas widely used by the military -- laser targeting and autonomous drones -- with the goal of aiding law enforcement by taking a dangerous, high-speed chase out of the hands of flesh-and-blood police officers. Essentially, a cop could "tag" a speeding vehicle using laser targeting technology, then employ the Scarab drone vehicle (which could be stationed by the side of the road or towed behind a moving cop car) to take care of the pursuit, much in the way a Predator drone takes care of reconnaissance and/or bombing missions in the place of manned aircraft.
