Oh the humanity! In my years of being an ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) professional, I have seen a lot. I've seen CCTV cameras explode in the hot Texas sun, I have seen red light running cameras with three days' of film go empty in 4 hours in lawless Phoenix, I have seen cities demand that their software be built specifically to thwart the good governance of neighboring cities.
So I was not surprised to read of Hoboken's software issues. Bad licensing, bad project management, and a general lack of understanding of components combined to keep New Jerseyans from their parked cars.
So, if you ever buy a giant robot parking attendant, make sure you tip it well.
