We have a warm new episode ready to be tasted by our selected and special audience. The central content of this issue is a fascinating and inspiring interview with Mr. Lyle Saxton, a veteran engineer in our field that has had a lot of responsibility posts. Our guest talked about very hot topics in the field of intelligent transportation but with the privileged perspective of an extensively experienced colleague. He just received the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society’s Lifetime Achievement Award! Don’t miss this one, it is really inspiring and educative!

Transportation in History
First Police Car in 1899
Early police cars were almost indistinguishable from other cars. They were typically dark in color and might have the word “POLICE” or “P.D.” hand-painted in small letters on the driver and passenger-side doors, but that was about it.
