The NYPD cruiser of the future can scan license plates, record and stream live video, and detect radiation while getting officers around the city. And according to The Wall Street Journal , that advanced cruiser is already here in a limited form. As part of a New York Police Department program called NYPD2020, the department has been testing a prototype "smart car" for about a year now in Brooklyn Heights with the aim of vetting technologies that it might build into future cruisers. The Journal reports that the NYPD is currently interested in building more of the smart cruiser, but it'll be up to incoming police commissioner William Bratton to decide how the program moves forward.
