▲ 644 ▼ They put A.I. in my truck. It warns me of everything I do wrong verbally. It reports everything to HQ. It is from a company called Solera. I take offense to this. Am I wrong? What can I do? Anything? (lemmy.world) submitted 1 year ago by ThrowAwayOK@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world 256 comments fedilink hide all child comments

It doesnt need gps. It doesnt need ai. It doesnt need cell. It only needs the electronic logbook. So yeah - blow it up permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) Fun fact, ELDs require GPS. It's easy to find public information. There is also this web page which goes into more details about the "why" we have to have ELDs installed in trucks. And the cell service is to allow the actual device to communicate back to the parent. At my company we use Samsara and Motive. We do not use any AI features because we don't need them but I have talked to guys at other offices that do use it. Largely it's because of insurance. You can get crazy discounts on insurance for running something with the AI tracking. There are also some AI programs that optimize routing but those are """AI""" features not necessarily AI. permalink fedilink source parent
