UCD - Life Or Death

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 11.11.04 // 04:12 PM

The New York Times has an article about the San Jose police experiencing issues with the new in-car computer system, some even fear for their own safety.

"officers have said the system is so complex and difficult to use that it is jeopardizing their ability to do their jobs"

"Officers complain that routine tasks are so difficult to perform that they are discouraged from doing them. And they say that the most vital safety feature - a "call for assistance" command that officers use when they are in danger - is needlessly complicated."

Doing what I do, I have to ask, how did this system ever get installed? Was there not an evaluation period?
