The first thing I thought of when I saw the title was "Lamborghini". Indeed, the article would have that picture to start with. It's funny that this was my first thought, but it says a lot about perception of Dubai, in general. I can't put a word on it, but the fact that they have Lamborghini police cars makes me say "Pfft. Of course the police would have crime prediction software. Duh." The word is at the intersection somewhere in the Platonic clouds of tech billionaire, startup, ridiculous, no-brainer / obvious, Vertu, excessive, prudent, utility, vanity. I guess 'Dubai' is a sufficient stand-in word.

- karmacoda 10y agoAh, but the two Italian Lamborghinis were donated. Otherwise I would've been very unimpressed.
- TheSpiceIsLife 10y agoEven if they weren't, the cars are made in Italy. I'd consider it reasonable for the police there to purchase the cars.
