Seems like a great application for an EV. Spends most of its time plugged in, and benefits from the extra torque and performance when responding to an emergency.

This would have a really big battery as well. I'm not sure how much would be needed once you are on the scene, but makes me think they could also use it as an emergency power source on location.
Thanks for sharing! Interesting to see that they went with cameras instead of conventional mirrors. More failure modes, but the auto-night-vision seems pretty neat.
I recall that the original Tesla Semi concept had no mirrors, but they eventually added them for the production version. I wonder if we'll see more vehicles without mirrors in the future.
It's got a lot of neat features, but I was surprised by the steering most of all. Wish I could get crab mode on my car for parallel parking
