A new police cruiser has been developed, which can scan license plates, record and stream live video, and detect radiation while getting officers around the city.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Police Department's program called NYPD2020 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 Verge reported.

It is reported that the police department is currently interested in building more of the smart cruisers, which will provide police officials more tools out in the field to increase how effective their patrols are.
