On the topic of having science tools to hand on the Batmobile, it's worth noting that this monstrous beast of a car is directly connected to the Batcave and the extremely powerful Batcomputer which resides below Wayne Manor.

It's well known that the Batcomputer system put in place by Bruce Wayne is often the envy of the DC Universe's heroes and villains.

Bruce is one of the most intelligent people in the realm of DC Comics, and the Batcomputer is the epitome of what makes Wayne tick - as in, it houses so much pivotal information, is capable of doing so much, has an insane eye for detail, and contains plans to take down pretty much each and every major player from across the galaxy.

Need a plan to stop The Flash in his tracks should he ever go rogue? The Batcomputer has you covered. Need to identify which of Gotham's numerous rogues left their tracks at a crime scene? The Batcomputer has you covered. Need a vital piece of evidence thoroughly examined? The Batcomputer has you covered. Need a surveillance system that's connected to every corner of Gotham and beyond? Again, the Batcomputer is your friend.

Bringing it back to the Batmobile, the kit and tech on these fleet of vehicles all have instant links back to the Batcomputer, meaning that Batman always has a huge amount of capabilities at his fingertips when tearing it up around the streets of Gotham.
