Eco Factor: All-electric concept vehicle helps police forces in high speed chases.
Designed by Carl Archambeault, the Scarab is a 100 percent electric self-driven robotic chase assistant concept that aims to reduce the number of police causalities in high speed chases. The light-weight, compact and zero-emission vehicle can take part in both high-speed chases and routine traffic stops to help keep officers and innocent people safe.
The Scarab sits idle near the patrol car. When a vehicle is caught speeding, the office in charge of the Scarab “Tags” the speeding vehicle with a radar gun. Once the car is tagged, the signal is sent to Scarab, which commences the chase. The Scarab chases the vehicle until it pulls over and waits for the patrol officer to arrive.
The Scarab concept doesn’t carry any weapons of any type, but with advances in technology, it will be possible to outfit the vehicle with a type of EMP or signal jamming device that brings the chased vehicle to a halt.
