China's state media · Sichuan Daily reported that a system to automatically scan a human face within 60 meters in radius was developed by installing a 360 degree camera on the roof of a police car and running a car . This system was developed by the Collaborative Institute of Police Equipment at China · Electronic Science University. The scanned face is collated with the police database on the spot and a warning sounds when the registered criminal suspect is identified, so he can recognize the face accurately up to 120 km / h.

In addition to having a function to read car models and license plates besides the face, it is also possible to set it to scan only "specific one". According to the director of the police equipment joint research institute, the system can be installed in almost all commercial vehicles used by police after installation. Regarding privacy considerations that may be discussed for the introduction of the system, countermeasures at the time of writing are unknown. Test runs of face recognition patrol cars are scheduled in Hangzhou City, which is the venue for the G20 summit held in September 2016.
