This is so unbelievably stupid and highly doubt there is any legitimate reason for police officers to have supercars in their fleets. This is clearly a cross waste of money, is dangerous, and totally pointless. Just use a helicopter and as another poster noted, there's totally fine place a helicopter could land close to the hospital.
The Italian people should be outraged at this profligate (and self serving) waste of resources. Especially in a country that doesn't even have monetary sovereignty.

- rhinoceraptor 6y agoI wouldn't be so sure, helicopters are insanely expensive. Not just to buy and fuel, but to maintain. They basically need to be completely rebuilt and every part inspected, after a certain number of operating hours. From what I can Google, that number of hours in usually in the low thousands.
- throwaway546456 6y agowhy not use a gyrocopter then? It's cheaper, easier to maintain and more safe. Even if they are not that fast you don't have to get stuck in traffic jam, wait on traffic lights in the city and can flight directly with straight line from A to B.
- LinuxBender 6y agoSome countries are toying with the idea of using drones for medical supply delivery. A few are also sending defibrillation drones to heart attack locations. I've not seen anyone use one for organs, but I do not see any technical reason they could not if the failure rate of the drones is lower than human operated equipment. There are probably insurance obstacles to get over. Drones can fly in weather that professional pilots with thousands of hours of IFR experience can not in terms of average failures and the range of said drones is improving exponentially every year.
