China developed face-scanning police cars

A Chinese university has developed a police car capable of face scanning during patrols, a media reported on 25/03/2016.
•    The intelligent vehicles, developed by the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in Sichuan province, will be put on trial in June, the Global Times reported.
•    China’s police cars are mostly re-fitted from commercial car models according to the needs of local authorities. 
•    The new cars will address many problems resulting from this poor standardisation, said Yin Guangqiang, director of the police-use advanced technology institute at the university.
•    The car is equipped with rooftop cameras that capture faces within a radius of 60 m, even at a speed of 120 km/h. The images are then scanned through the police database.
•    Its other functions include detecting vehicles information and identifying mobile phones in its proximity. Its engines also consume less oil and discharge less carbon dioxide..
