Sounds like my stupid (brilliant?) idea, an autonomous car lift. Travel under/around speeding or otherwise criminal drivers, travel at the same speed and pick the vehicle up (from the frame, not the wheels).

Then what?

Crush the car.

"10:01 AM", by Alexander Malec, 1966. Same idea, but for flying cars.

Reckless driver kills child pedestrian. Gets caught, grabbed in air by large police vehicle. Driver has disabled vehicle recorder. Backup vehicle recorder hidden in lug nut is played back.

"At 11 am, James 'Poxie' Smith was vaporized."

I have this idea of making a human cyborg to cruise with the police car. We will call him CopRobot.

Why didn't you just call him RoboTop? /s

"You have 30 seconds to comply"

Autonomous sex worker robots. They'll spot a horny male or female, pick them up and service them. It could save billions!

ah, self driving cars posing as uber rides?

"Get out of your car, we've got a free Uber ride for you"
