UK: Road crash laser scanners
16th July 2011
Police in England are to use new laser scanners at the scene of serious motorway crashes so they can clear the roads more quickly.
The technology saves time by making a 3D image of the site, rather than investigators having to painstakingly log everything at the scene.
It is hoped that getting traffic moving again will save the economy hundreds of thousands of pounds each year.
This is a superb idea. We already have the technology. (Google, are you listening?)
