myFOXaustin (AUSTIN) - Austin Police are part of a new state wide program to raise awareness on drinking and driving and that includes two unusual looking cop cars.

They're half patrol cars, half cab cars. The front half is black and white, the rear is yellow.

You'll do a double take if you haven't seen these yet. APD Commander, Donald Baker, says, "that is exactly the point right there." Austin police patrol vehicles combined with yellow cabs. Baker says, "it also starts a conversation."
