The Future of Cop Cars

The entrants in the L.A. Design Challenge's Highway Patrol Vehicle 2025 contest.

Part of the L.A. Auto Show pageantry, the L.A. Design Challenge finds automaker's battling to concept a vehicle for the future. For 2012, the idea is to create a "Highway Patrol Vehicle" for 2025. In the running are BMW, General Motors, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, and Subaru.

Entrants to the competition range from unmanned drones to powerful SUVs. Mercedes-Benz has already built its concept, the Ener-G-Force, which we've highlighted and will be on full display at the auto show. 

The winner of the challenge will be announced on Thursday.
