Driverless police cars could enforce laws by AI
A patent developed by Ford is being reviewed by the U.S. government to create autonomous police cars.

License plate scanners immediately jumped to mind, and it is mentioned in the article. Honestly this sounds like a way to automate mundane violations that cops may not even bother to issue. I'm picturing something like a robot golf cart. And if it is tippable, you can bet your *** they are going to be tipped/flipped over at every opportunity

How will AI enforce traffic law against equally automated passenger cars and commercial vehicles? Isn't the whole point of automation is that no mistakes are made? It's not even a patent yet, much less functional, so Elon's children will have taken over long before the idea matures. Unless someone is hoping for AI on AI violence.

They will negotiate a plea bargain in /100th of a nano-second and deduct from your bank.
