a cross between a cartoon rocketship and R2-D2. It's outfitted with sensors and cameras, and will provide real-time incident notification to first responders, NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey claimed.
"For the first month of this appointment we will have a human partner along with the artificial intelligence, the device," he added."One of our members from the Technical Assistance Response Unit will help monitor it and make sure that it's working properly." "And why we are doing this, it allows our officers to stay safe, limit pursuits, and let the GPS do its job," he said.And then there's the two Digidogs, which the city bought for $750,000 using forfeiture money, according to the police department. Los Angeles lawmakers are considering a similar deployment. The Digidogs operate under remote control by humans, though they do feature some automation.
"This is a lifesaving device," Maddrey said."It's going to be used for hostage situations, bomb threats, counterterrorism situations. Things where the best course of action will be to send the Digidog in first before a human being."
