Dubai is an interesting place for a whole host of reasons. Our favorite oddity in the desert oasis, however, has to be its police pursuit vehicle fleet, which includes a Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT, and a Bentley Continental GT.

Now they’ve one-upped themselves and added a 750 horsepower, 7.3-liter V12-powered Aston Martin One-77 supercar to the fleet. The One-77 is extremely rare to begin with but this one takes the cake. The Dubai police department’s One-77 is from the Q-Series of which only seven were built, according to GTSpirit.

Why do cops in Dubai need such high-powered vehicles? The oil-rich United Arab Emirates is home to some of the world’s most expensive, fastest, and rarest cars. In order to compete with the horsepower-heavy daily drivers on the road, the police department had to invest heavily.

We’re absolutely tickled with the purchasing power of the Dubai police department and wish municipalities in the U.S. could afford the same (but don’t count on it).

If it were our money, though, we’d go with less luxury and more raw power for our “police cars.” We’d love to see a Lamborghini Veneno, a Koenigsegg Agera R, and maybe just for some lunacy a Pagani Huayra in the fleet as well.

Polestar forced to exit the US market. It’s a shame we won’t see its refined design anymore

Boring EVs caught a break as Americans lose Polestar

Polestar, the Swedish EV brand controlled by China’s Geely, has been denied authorization under the US Connected Vehicle Rule. As a result, it will not be able to sell vehicles in the US from the 2027 model year onward. The company is not disappearing from American roads overnight. Polestar says it will continue selling existing US inventory of the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4, and current owners will still have access to service support. But for future models, the door is effectively closing unless something changes.

The Wild West era of robotaxis is starting to end

New global rules could replace patchwork regulation with stricter safety proof for driverless fleets.

Robotaxi rules have entered their first global phase. A UN vehicle standards forum has adopted the first international framework for fully autonomous vehicles, giving driverless fleets a common safety baseline across major markets.

The move lands while robotaxis are expanding from test programs into a bigger commercial race. In the US and China, private fleets more than doubled in 2025 to 8,000 vehicles across more than two dozen major cities.

Google Meet finally lands on Android Auto, giving you one less excuse to skip a meeting

Android users can now join scheduled meetings and audio calls from their car's dashboard, catching up to what iPhone users have had for months.

Google Meet on Android Auto

Android Auto is finally getting Google Meet, months after the video conferencing app made its debut on Apple CarPlay. Android users can now pull up scheduled meetings and dial recent contacts straight from their car's display instead of reaching for their phone.
