Driverless police cars powered by AI are now patrolling streets in southwest China, offering smart policing, rapid response and on-the-spot public safety services.
AI-powered driverless police cars are now patrolling streets day and night, drawing attention from local residents.
Equipped with LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors and HD cameras, the vehicles navigate crowded roads and narrow lanes with precision.
At intersections without traffic lights, they can activate mobile signals to guide vehicles and pedestrians.
Serving as mobile safety platforms, the cars stream real-time footage to police and can detect suspicious behavior automatically.
With one-touch alarm buttons and onboard emergency equipment, the vehicles help make community policing faster, smarter, and more responsive.
