Picture this: Florida, already the land of gators and weird news, decides to one-up itself by rolling out self-driving cop cars that sound like they escaped from a “RoboCop” sequel nobody asked for. The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is testing these AI-packed SUVs that patrol on their own, spy with cameras, and even launch heat-seeking drones to sniff out bad guys hiding in bushes or on rooftops. Donated by a nonprofit run by an ex-cop, these $200K beasts are meant to “touch the community” in ways that scream surveillance state, but for now, they’ll have a human babysitter in the front seat. Because nothing says “future of law enforcement” like a drone-equipped cruiser that’s basically a rolling Big Brother on wheels.
