Effects of the design of operating rooms/theatres on safety is vastly underestimated . In this new study we looked at improving the delays for calling for help using an emergency buzzer by making it more visible using a red line from the ceiling to the buzzer.
Installing the line more than halved the number of times calling for help was delayed. #HumanFactors#PatientSafety#Anaesthesia#Anesthesiology
Sounds like a #humanfactors problems to me. I see that #mainsail is #opensource, maybe they would appreciate a contribution to change the default on the confirmation dialog or to change the icon?
Complex issues will surface in the courtroom like #HumanFactors, mode confusion and #AutomatedDriving system internals that, frankly, judges and juries are going to be strained to understand and appreciate.
But the #NHTSA, in its infinite wisdom, is just tickled pink to have private litigation deal with #Tesla’s vast #Autopilot wrongdoings because the agency can continue to do nothing, which they do well.
#Tesla hand-waves this #HumanFactors fact as well on their official Autopilot product website, as shown below.
That “relaxation”, that “workload reduction” you might feel when using #Autopilot or #FSDBeta?
Guess what that really is?
Complacency.
Deadly complacency.
And it strikes when you least expect it, when the vehicle suddenly encounters a failure and it takes you an additional second or three to regain situational and operational awareness.
Let's talk about #Mercedes vehicles equipped with #DrivePilot a bit - a Level 3-capable vehicle that has been recently "approved" in a handful of US states.
This article almost entirely focuses on the legal dynamics of consumer liability should this vehicle create a direct (or, presumably, an indirect) incident.
But, as always, I want to talk about what I feel are the #SystemsSafety realities at work here and the many foot-guns that are associated with that.
Humans are not machines and human drivers are not homogeneous and it is entirely unclear how long of the duration of this "warning time" needs to be in an infinite number of conditions.
That is what is called #HumanFactors considerations, in part.
But let us put the "human element" out-of-mind here.
I submit it is not necessary here.
Let's get back to the article - and, in particular, a statement by one of the legal experts cited within it:
I was at #Chicago Pride all weekend while visiting with my wife (videos and photos soon!), so I missed this #Tesla Drama concerning #FSDBeta that erupted.
Ok.
Let us, again, all put on our #SystemsSafety hats and take a look at the situation here as I understand it.
Below is the video that kicked the beehive between Tesla defenders and detractors on "what really happened?".
This clearly chaotic video was taken from a larger drive sequence in which FSD Beta was active.
First off, one really has to "love" the placement of the mobile device charging pads in this #Tesla vehicle - a vehicle which is unvalidated as it pertains to being equipped with a highly-complex automated driving system, no less.
The placement of these pads ensure maximum driver inattentiveness to the roadway and to the dynamic driving task.
This is not a "side issue". The #HumanFactors components are an integral part of the human-machine system in terms of a validation process.
"Bottom-line" Capitalism. "Safety is waste, you just have to break the rules." #oceangate
"Interview shows Titanic expedition firm CEO say: 'Safety is waste'
He told CBS News: 'You know, there's a limit. At some point safety just is pure waste. | mean if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed. ‘Don't get in your car. Don’t do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules.'"

Basic lack of understanding about the difference between redundant systems (and contingencies) and duplication.
I agree in health care there is a lot of duplication (safety clutter) that doesn’t add to safety or create redundancy but often detracts from it.
However, safety is not waste. #humanfactors#HumanFactorsForHealthcare
Hi everyone, I've been on Mastodon for a while but I'm new to hci.social - glad to finally find a federate that aligns with my interests. I have a background in #humanfactors, and I'm interested in human-machine teaming, human-automation interaction, and the application of #formalmethods and other rigorous mathematical approaches to these domains. Open to further discussion!
For me, #appsec will always be a human problem in a technology domain. One of the best ways we can connect with this, is to bring behavious into our understanding and threat models.

Hi! I'm Morgan, a #Software engineer living in western #EU. I work as a lead developer, with an increasing focus on the #HumanFactors involved in making software. I'm also pursuing a #Psychology degree with the aim of becoming a better #UX#UI designer. When I write code I use #Java and #Typescript but i'd like to go back to #Ada someday.
I also love #Music (yes, all of it)! Share your favorite song with me! 🎶 I'm learning how to play #Drums and might dip my toes into #MusicProduction in the future.
I've been interested in decentralized tech like #Matrix and #IPFS for quite some time. And I still hold a tiny bit of hope that #Blockchain might yield something good eventually (but I don't have a pyramid scheme to sell you I promise).
