Lucius Fox has posed:
The call is placed, over that secure network that had been handed out. The video is opens to Lucas sitting down at his desk, behind him is the shared files of the engine, the car, everything floating in the air. Over his eyes are a set of simple glasses, as he leans back in his chair waiting for the call to get answered, time to work on the new project for Wayne Enterprises. The self driving, car.

Caleb Dykstra has posed:
The call doesn't take long to be answered. On the screen, the face of Caleb Dykstra shows, a smile on his face. "Greetings, Mr. Fox." He thinks it over for a moment, considering the word 'boss' for a quick light-hearted joke, but the man on the screen in front of him is a professional. So, he'll keep it professional.

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox leans back in his chair as he looks into the camera with all that encryption and randomizers, to make it not trackable by most in this world. "Now than, Mr Dykstra, that car I saw at that show most impressive, and you know the little Mr. Wayne that is good." His hand is moves to pick up his mug of coffee taking a long sip of it with a little chuckle. "So, than I wish to adopt if you are willing some of that into this project, second we need to find a way for the AI to sense dangerous things when it drives itself, any idea on how?"

Caleb Dykstra has posed:
Caleb Dykstra says, "Why, thank you", Caleb says. "I actually didn't expect to win, so it came out as a real surprise." He chuckles, "Imagine the extra credit for college. I got two grants in a few months; I get a third, I'll call myself miracle worker."

"But which part of the tech would you be interested in? I figure the free-hand driving system?""

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox nods slowly his eyes on the man as he thinks for a long time, sipping his coffee. "The charging, the driving yes. Also, anything else that might be useful, the goal is to make a new car for the Gotham PD, to keep them safe and to have the car be able to move as a shield now that you have signed the papers, I can disclose that."

Caleb Dykstra has posed:
Caelb smiles a little when the Police is mentioned, "I saw the design. An assault vehicle, at least the way it's built as." He compares notes for the materials. "Given the list of materials you showed me in your files, a carbon fiber-aramid mesh inter-layerered with high density nanogel for that body, it could shave off some fat for its size and offer resilience to the hull. Bullets would hit the surface, but the shock-absorption properties upon deflection - that can't be avoided - would reduce the speed they're bounced off from."

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox nods slowly his eyes on the Caelb with a nod of his head. "Indeed, that seems like a good idea. This is a brand new concept, I R&D it a month ago, so this is something that will take some time to get up and running. Now, than what else do you suggest with this?"

Caleb Dykstra has posed:
Caleb Dykstra says, "Caleb looks at the concept for the auto-pilot. "For a vehicle that could drive itself, aside from a GPS", he clicks his tongue, "you need an AI - and I mean a damn good one, at that." He puts on a model of a human body, and a mannequin. "It needs to know the difference between a living being, and a decoy." He pauses to that, "You hear about the scumbags Batman fights and their traps through the grapevine - don't ask -, and this is a cause for concern.""

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox looks over at Caleb on the screen for a long time with his hand is moving to tap at his chin. "Indeed, that is a good point and one we are trying to work out now. Batman, what does he have to do with this at all, this is for the police in our city to start with and other places. They all need to be safe, for those on the wrong side of the law, have so much to do with? Now than, that is a good point the police have to deal with those people as well, we need to keep this safe long enough for the do-gooders in this world that can handle such things are able to get there, before they die. You understand this project well, it seems."

Caleb Dykstra has posed:
Caleb Dykstra says, "When the subject of Batman is brought up, he explains. "I know perfectly well it's for the police, but the big difference is that the Police doesn't have the best track record with Gotham's villains, and innocents get caught in the middle more often than not." He points at the proposals, "If this helps save civilians, it should be in effect after trial and test.""

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox nods slowly his phone next to his desk starts to ring with a frown, he reaches for it speaking quietly and than he hangs up. "It seems there is more for me to do before I hang up my hat for the evening, do be safe Mr. Dykstra. Your mind is impressive, your skills as well. I look forward to this and future projects, if you need if anything be in touch. We have many resources, that are now yours to use as well." With that he hangs up, standing to move on to the next meeting.
