Miami Tests Unmanned Police Car with Drone Launch Option
Miami-Dade County is pioneering a new chapter in law enforcement by testing a self-driving police car capable of deploying drones and collecting real-time data. This initiative is part of a pilot program developed and sponsored by PolicingLab in partnership with the local sheriff's office.
Advanced Features and Technology
Built on a Perrone Robotics platform, the vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated suite of tools designed for modern policing:
- 360-degree cameras for comprehensive surveillance
- AI-powered analytics for intelligent data processing
- Thermal imaging systems for enhanced detection
- Automated license plate readers
- On-demand drone deployment capabilities
These vehicles will expand the capabilities of sheriff's deputies, enhance efficiency, and bolster public safety.
Pilot Program Objectives
The 12-month trial will evaluate the vehicle's impact on key law enforcement metrics, including:
- Reducing incident response times
- Improving deterrence effectiveness
- Increasing officer safety
- Strengthening community trust
