Yes, we know what computers CAN do.  What computers WILL do in real life is a different matter and, as you say yourself, no guarantee.

Sooner be it your head than mine.

Well, they already DO do all that in a very wide array of industries. The catch-all term is “preventative maintenance”, and AI-based pattern recognition (not only image-based) is the technological bedrock for it.

 

They even have solutions for preventative building maintenance these days, based on 3D modelling buildings inside and outside with LIDAR and component identification/location/perma-tagging based on architect plans, correlated with  GPS and manufacturer data (spec sheet, product photos), with a maintenance module correlating each component with product fault logging by manufacturers and independent tech/distributor/support sources).
 

Basically, the building owner knows what’s <next> likely to break down when, and can send a 3D map to the maintenance person indicating exactly which component needs replacing where in the building, with the replacement component. No more double or error orders, no more “did not know we needed a cherry picker to get up there so we’ll have to come back”, no more “you swapped the wrong one”, etc.
 

Just one real-life example, there are thousands more. Basically, wherever downtime costs an arm and a leg, you’ll find one such solution nowadays.

Read my text again!

I already said that they should be used along with human but not instead of.

The rail bosses want to stop human track inspection and sack most of the track maintenance workers and use technology,  and my view is that they are inviting disaster.

Then there is the problem that nobody can buy a ticket without a computer that can go online.

Read mine first - you asked where all the staff where going to come from to analyse the photo's

 

Do you have a link to substantiate that claim, because I doubt it is true.

 

or the claim that computer free users won't be able to travel

 

It is time that people are charged a fixed price per mile, and can tap in and out as they travel imo, a much simpler way of managing the ticketing system.

Old and DM but a valid point:

 

Quote

A fractured rail which derailed a Tube train was inspected less than 24 hours before the accident yet the problem was not spotted.
 

Staff from the infrastructure company Metronet walked the stretch of track on a routine maintenance patrol on Thursday but the following night the rear carriage of a Piccadilly Line train came off the same tracks in west London.

and from another source:
 

The technology is using enhanced track geometry as part of a broader automated track inspection program to detect defects in the rail track that the human eye can’t see.

Well, said Mr Lynch is the one banging on about safety being the primary reason for the strike... He's been the one criticising and doom mongering about machines taking place of people and the supposed catastrophic effects that will have.

 

When such hysteria gets posted on here people are entitled to counter it. Especially when it has no bearing in reality.

Well, we all know your reputation for accuracy.

 

Maybe you could supply the correct figures.

 

(Clue: They are already correct)

No they are not.

Farage has no mandate from the UK people 

 

100% of the electorate have to pay for the BBC. Excepting the OAPs, who have paid for them for long enough anyway.

Just as a reminder.

That’s an excellent qualification to my claim. It doesn’t make my statement untrue though.

 

 Correction noted😀

That may not but this does.

 

The electorate do not pay for the BBC so the claim that 100% do is unfortunately for you, untrue. The BBC is funded by the license fee which is paid by the households who pay it which also includes those who may not be on the electoral register for one reason or another and also trading companies that show live TV in their shops. Also around 1.35M do not pay it as they either do not have a TV, dont watch live TV or claim they don't despite the fact that they may also be on the electoral register.

 

I have a TV, am on the electoral roll and yet do not pay a TV licence fee.

 

So to sum up, it is the households that pay and not the electorate.
