Ideally, this happens when nobody is inside the car.
“Ideally” and “police” are words that go together only in the context of, “doesn’t work the way it’s ideally supposed to.”
I had been thinking lately about post-pandemic shared transportation issues, and the future of ride-shares and shared autonomous cars, and what kind of sterilization would be used. I’m not sure this is it, but at least car makers are thinking about it.
Not necessarily for a police car - I could see there being at least 15 minutes where the car sits empty after taking someone in to the station.
