This AI is full of holes: Brit council fixes thousands of road cracks spotted by algorithm using sat snaps

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.
