webfact Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Picture: Daily News Thailand's Immigration Bureau are utilising their fleet of so-called "smart cars" to bring home the message about Covid-19 prevention, reported Daily News. They will be out and about in their jurisdictions making sure that everyone is wearing masks, washing their hands and only going out if absolutely necessary. Deputy at the IB and spokesman Pol Maj-Gen Achayon Kraithong said that IB chief Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang cares about the Thai people and foreigners residing in the country. Picture: Daily News The police don't want to catch and fine people but want this to be a PR drive to help get everyone onboard with the strict measures now in place as Thailand battles the third wave of the virus. Pol Col Phakpong Sai-udom added: "We're here to help 100% - let's fight this together". The BMW car was out in Torung market in Prachuap Khiri Khan and the downtown provincial capital, the media further reported. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-04-30 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungod Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Wouldn't these 'Smart Cars' be better employed in track and trace? In some respects this is what they were designed for. Just a thought....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post colinneil Posted April 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 What a load of xxxxxs, they are using them cars for anything, just to try and justify the total waste of money buying them. So they need an expensive car to check if a person has washed their hands, how bloody stupid. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Taco Posted April 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 Yea I saw the BMW police car battling covid yesterday on koh phangan. The vicious BMW took his battle from the khao khao moo stall down the street to the kweeteeow shop. It was like Moses parting the Red Sea the covid was defeated and ran off the island. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldera Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 A police officer on a dumb motorbike would accomplish the same. But hey, these smart cars have to be put to use somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Its a shame these ‘smart cars’ can’t be utilised alongside dumb motorbikes to patrol for those riding without helmets, without seatbelts, jumping red-lights, driving dangerously.... so to create an ‘effective’ traffic police force thus eradicating the stupidity of the name ‘smart cars’ and maturing to ‘effective policemen’ !!!... a pipe dream ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camera on top has face recognition function. Details of what is built-in in this car, with links to credible sources, have been posted on this forum not so long ago. Anyway, your cynic and uninformed drivel has earned you some like. Good job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
