Rumours abound that First Essex might subject to DTp approval be chosen for the trial of the new Google bus driver app: A spokesman said "We have got a lot of information from our American trials of driverless cars in traffic; and are anxious that in the next stage of our development, our robots which are programmed to be reasonable and logical, learn more about human behaviour in the real world, and know from experience that their greatest difficulty is with understanding the behaviour of bus drivers". In this experiment passengers must tender exactly the right change and stand in precisely the right position at the bus stop and signal correctly when they want to alight or depart; and comply with all Regulations; and for safety and convenience the buses will go automatically out of service at the slightest problem. The program has at the moment a limited vocabulary "No"; "I don't know" and "Nobody told me anything". The Google spokesman said "We want to identify the teething problems such as chronology, ride and location issues, and wanted a location where passengers are well-used to dealing with these sort of problems, and are used to their buses turning up out of sequence, early, late or not at all. We are pleased that First Essex fitted our profile completely. Once we get the all-clear we look forward to experimenting on the passengers. In fact we are confident that passengers will experience an improvement, or even notice no difference at all". The DTp said they are anxious to conduct a trial. "We see this as the future of bus travel, and hope that it will teach those nuisance bus passengers a useful lesson". smurfukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812247601237248526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-9541611319179009082016-04-01T12:28:41.793+01:002016-04-01T12:28:41.793+01:00Will keep my ears open.
