The science of designing work spaces based on the health concerns of those who will operate in the work space is called: - Ergonomics Last year, three Metro City firemen died responding to a fire at a chemical plant, when they were overcome by toxic fumes. In response, Metro City is purchasing advanced first responder gear. It includes special flame retardant suits with chemical and explosive fume sensors, air quality sensors, and heat sensors. Responders will also wear special watches that will track a responder's pulse, respiration, and blood pressure; and helmets that include video cameras. All of these sensors will feed data to a computer in real-time. The computer will analyze the data and issue threat levels and evacuation orders, if necessary. The protective gear Metro City will purchase and the data transmission and analysis capability illustrate the use of: - Smart products Autonomous Vehicle Applications (AVA) is a start-up company that develops safety technologies that can be sold to companies that are producing autonomous vehicles. One technology AVA is developing allows an autonomous vehicle to detect, extract, and analyze images; and then to respond to the images. For example, the technology would detect a presence in a crosswalk, extract the image, and a computer would analyze the image. When the image was determined to be a human being, the vehicle would slow down or stop until the crosswalk was clear. This technology, which is designed to capture and analyze images, and to act on the recognition of the image; is called: - Computer vision Which one of the following is a positive risk for a start-up business?
