Abstract
A vehicle monitors an ongoing enforcement situation using one or more sensors provided to the vehicle and determines, based on the monitoring and sensor data of the one or more sensors, that a foot pursuit has begun. The vehicle receives a location signal from a location-providing device carried by at least one entity involved in the situation and determines a street route for the vehicle that follows movement of the entity by using streets travelable by the vehicle, based on a plurality of locations received from the location-providing device. Also, the vehicle automatically and autonomously controls the vehicle to follow the determined street route.
