The Scarab concept designed by Carl Archambeault, is an all-electric, self-driven, robotic chase assistant, which assists the police in high speed pursuits. It is a lightweight, compact and emission free vehicle, and apart from high speed chases, it performs duties such as routine traffic checks to keep police officers and innocent civilians safe.

How does the Scarab work?

A Scarab is always stationed besides a police officer’s patrol car, ready for it to be deployed when a speeding vehicle is detected. When the police officer detects a speeding vehicle, he tags the speeding vehicle with the aid of a radar gun. Once the speeding vehicle has been tagged, the signal is relayed to Scarab, which then initiates pursuit of the speeding offender.

The Scarab pursues the speeding vehicle till the driver decides to stop. The policemen can then arrive at the spot avoiding further road accidents.

The Scarab better have high performance batteries and powerful motors. Chasing speeding supercars can prove cumbersome otherwise.

As of now, the Scarab is not yet outfitted with a weapon of any sort, but down the line, in a few years time, it may be equipped with an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) or a Signal Jammer, which will enable it to bring down speeding vehicles to a complete halt, all on its own.
