, which will be rolled out on all vehicles over the course of a year, Moore said.
“We recognize [our current systems] are based on technologies that sometimes are more than a decade old or more,” Moore said at a news conference Thursday. “We know that when that happens with technology you are falling behind … Technology is constantly improving.”Sgt.
