So its a police car driving around. What if someone actually needs help? What can just a car do?

This whole idea is so utterly stupid, I'm at loss of words.

It can't do anything to help anyone, but it's essentially a mobile Flock camera with license plate tracking and facial recognition. It's a privacy nightmare, and a massive legal liability for the city (Benn Jordan has an excellent video on his YouTube about Flock cameras and how bad they are). Best case scenario is it drives through a deep puddle during the next hurricane and shorts itself out.

I was waiting the whole video for them to explain even one actually useful aspect of this idea, and at the very end a cop says "it can deploy a drone."

But wait that's dumb

I agree. I know your post was serious but I couldn't help thinking of that green goblin truck from that Stephen King movie where tech comes alive. I'm imagine a police car watching a crime in progress and revving it's engine to intimate them.

It'll run them over! Obviously. Easiesy way to solve any problem is to just run them all over.
