Officials confirmed August 6 after a viral post forced disclosure. Scope is narrower than the headline: the AI engages only when every human call-taker is busy and the caller is within roughly 200 meters of an already-reported vehicle crash, a pattern the district found in its own rush-hour data where hundreds call about one accident. Built with emergency call software firm Carbyne. The deployment is defensible. The three-year non-disclosure is what drew the criticism, and rightly.
