Criminals beware! Carbon Motors' purpose-built E-7 police car could be an officer's dream come true.
"What we’ve developed is a homeland security platform of technologies. The amount of equipment and technology in this vehicle not only provides them the appropriate performance capabilities 1, but unparalleled safety."
The 15-inch touch screen computer console, which Li compares to the biggest iphone you've ever seen, controls many of the high-tech 2 features.
"And this is the patrol screen."
There's a radar 3 screen that monitors cars in the front and rear, a fore 4 and back seat facing camera, an infrared 5 camera that detects heat signatures at night and a license 6 plate recognition system that can automatically read up to 1,500 license plates per minute as the officer drives, then crosschecks them against national and local databases.
"Let's go back 50 years, right? You had a vehicle, maybe you had a radio and one little light goes on top here. That's no longer the case."
Georgia is the home state of Carbon Motors and among several in discussions to manufacture the vehicle, which is expected to produce 10,000 new jobs. Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss hopes it can provide a much-needed economic boost for the state.
"Georgia's like every other state. We're suffering from an economic standpoint right now. We've seen a huge loss of jobs in our state, in the manufacturing sector 7 particularly. And any time, you have a new company coming in, that suggests that they may employ up to 10,000 people. That's huge."
The demonstration 8 vehicle touring various states has drawn 9 attention for more enforcement. But some officers are taking a wait-and-see approach.
"They’re gonna have to produce a few vehicles that they can take to a major police department, and say, take these two cars and test them for 15 or 30 days. Day in and day out, and gives us a report back."
"Hold on!"
The E-7 looks likes it should be featured in a summer blockbuster film, but Li says there's one major difference between it and Hollywood crime fighting cars.
"We've heard this is the car of the future. We've heard it compared to robot car and James Bond and Kay and all those things. But, you know, the fact of the matter is, this is the real deal."
The expected date of production is 2012.
