Czech artist Jan Metelka worked with Charles Bombardier to bring his police-drone idea to life. Thanks to its 360 degree panoramic cameras, the motorcycle would seamlessly scan license plates and record offenders in real-time video.
The Interceptor is a driverless police motorcycle that can monitor traffic and issue tickets for violations via mobile apps

Imagine a super-fast, driverless motorbike flying across highways 24/7, issuing traffic tickets -- via mobile apps -- to the owners of any vehicle daring to break the speed limit.
The design for these futuristic police drones already exists. It's called Interceptor and could soon become a reality.
"It's only the natural evolution of technology," Canadian mechanical engineer Charles Bombardier told CNN.
Bombardier's company, Imaginactive, is a nonprofit organization that inspires the next generation to dream up the vehicles of tomorrow.
Bombardier comes up with his ideas by looking at existing everyday products.
"Traffic cameras have been around for years. But with the advancement of pilotless technology we now have new solutions to the basic needs in our public works systems, including in the area of public safety," he said.
While patrolling, the motorcycle would seamlessly scan license plates and record offenders using real-time video. If a violation is recorded, the drone could automatically issue citations via e-mail, text message or even traditional post.
