Ford and Chevy are competing again for the law enforcement market with new designs specifically built for police tasks.
As the Ford Crown Victoria production ends, Ford is revving up for the 2011 Ford Interceptor. See the full video.
Chevy is also racing to market with the Chevy Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV).
The Caprice is reported to be an alternative to the Chevy Impala and Tahoe.
Of the sedans, I like the appearance and design of the Ford Interceptor, but the Chevy Caprice over powers the Interceptor.
More to come on the sedans and the yet to be revealed Ford Police Utility Interceptor. Can it compete with the Chevy Tahoe? Many consider the Tahoe to be too expensive, but last month it was rated best for life-cycle cost.
Full disclosure - I’ve professionally driven previous and current versions of the emergency service Caprice, Crown Victoria and Tahoe. My favorite emergency fleet vehicle is the 2009-2010 Chevy Tahoe. There is more than adequate space, it handles well (unlike the previous truck style), it can take a hit, and its appearance is quite intimidating!

This video demonstrates another roadway safety concept for directing traffic with safety cones. I like the idea, but doubt the robustness and practicality of this concept.
Safety on the road for transportation workers and emergency personnel are worthy investments in new technologies. However, I remain skeptical of this concept. There are too many motorists that would enjoy bursting balloons.

I would opt for a solar highway barrel with LEDs and GPS positioned by a robotic base all remotely controlled by the man behind the curtain. Until then, concrete barricades and heavy duty impact attenuator trucks will suffice.
