Connected Car
Police and first responder vehicles are expected to undergo a technology revolution, which will include augmented reality, mobile surveillance and remote device control according to transport and connectivity software firm VNC Automotive. VNC can tap into the systems that OEMs build into cars, utilising existing touch screens and the hardware for communication and connectivity. Developments in augmented reality can enable drivers to access navigation, call status and database information without taking their eyes of the road. VNC also says video feeds from drones or robots could be relayed to vehicles to support police and first responders when working in dangerous environments. VNC Automotive’s solutions already allow command centres to connect with vehicles in real-time, controlling certain systems such as sirens and providing crucial navigation information to officers.
