A Police Vehicle Add-On That Safely Ends Car Chases
Wait, why is hard to believe that "police chases are still a thing" ?
This is really nice information. Thanks for sharing such type of information.
Curious as to how it performs with a front / AWD vehicle.
Check the video, 0:41-0:45. Though the front wheels are getting power, there's still a locked rear wheel and a couple (or few) tons of police cruiser to serve as an effective anchor.
Cool. Good catch.
Yes but notice the video did not show the FWD car actually coming to a stop. How far could that tug-of-war drag on? Also when the rear wheels are locked, the driver loses substantial directional control, and could slide into other lanes, pedestrians, oncoming traffic, or even flip over. Instead of a snare, that arm should have a GPS tracker with a blob of instant-set adhesive to latch onto the fender, trunk, bumper, etc. then just sit back and wait.
