I can totally see a near-future where traffic stops are made by police remotely commandeering self-driving cars. Light'em up, lock the doors, and pull them over or drive them straight to jail.

In a future when you thought you could blow in your car.... suddenly the doors lock, it's the 'smart' police!

Micheal I told you, you shouldn't have smoked that blunt while driving, I'm not angry just worried, this is an intervention

Oh man, someone should develop a K.I.T.T Tesla upgrade. A red LED strip for the front bumper and a software patch with William Daniels voice for navigation and snarky quips. Aaaaaand nevermind, someone did it 10 years ago.

On to my next million dollar idea: an 80's style PSA to play on the dashboard infotainment center while you're auto-driven off to the precinct.

"So, you're being arrested!"

These are your Miranda Rights, followed by paid advertisements for local attorneys. Your arrest is being recorded & livestreamed in accordance with your automakers' TOS

You should patent this (if that is possible) Because I'm sure this is going to be a thing!
