Upon reaching a certain temperature, the car will automatically turn on, will start the air conditioner, and will page the handler to return to the car. Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Deputy Airport Director Scott Hagen responded that Wondries has experience in outfitting this type vehicle in putting a kennel in.
