The device is based on popular in-car PCs that control your everyday satnav or entertainment setups, and has been upgraded by Dorset Police with the help of BMW to handle police only functions including automatic number plate recognition, speed detection, video capture, satnav and vehicle data recording via the single touchscreen.
The first cars to get the new system include two BMWs, a 530d and X5 plus two Fords, a Mondeo and a Focus. To stop any crims who are considering trying to get their hands on one of these hi-tech cars, they will eventually come with biometric facial recognition and fingerprint scanners.
