Seriously, how much does it cost to employ a guy 40 hours a week to drive round in a van, taking in EVERY road over the course of... hell... a month, let alone a year... and press a GPS tracker button whenever he finds one.
If this is "money-saving", then it's still a ridiculous waste of money.
I'll do it for £50k + vehicle expenses + £30 for the tracker + £20 a month for always-on data connection.
I make that about a £350,000 saving... AT LEAST over the AI, let alone whatever bureaucracy ritual they were doing before.
