Audi and others
could compete in the law enforcement segment if they wanted to. After all, how do we know that the big 3 could exit the emergency services segment? If the government had enough knowhow to work on and maintain these cars, it could happen. Never mind the politics. I could've gotten deeper in the dirty laundry segment.
The point I'm trying to make is that Audi could make the law enforcement segment competitive. Think about all the high-tech gadgets in the a8 that could compete with Crown Victoria, Charger, Caprice, etc. These screens could be used to pull up everything from speeding tickets given, to information on wanted suspects.
I did see a video of an a6 responding to a stabbing on youtube. They could do the same thing with the a8. I'd love to see them compete in the US.
