how do those chase helicopters keep focus on fast moving cars during a police chase?

Feels like it would be very disorienting for the camera man and would be quite shaky from that distance out. Is there some special equipment they use?

It also helps that they’re pretty high up in the sky. So from the helicopter’s perspective, the car will seem to be moving a little bit slower than it would if you were on the ground.

Similar to when you’re on the ground and you look up at airplane in the sky (disregarding fighter jets). The airplane could be traveling several hundred miles per hour, but due to the distance, it doesn’t look like it’s traveling across the sky very fast.
