    The technology is NOT DOING WHAT ITS MEANT TO DO - it is IDENTIFYING DAMAGE WHERE THERE IS NONE - the TECHNOLOGY is NOT working as it should

      The technology isn’t there to accurately assess damage. It’s there to give Hertz an excuse to charge you extra money. It’s working exactly as the ghouls in the C-suite like.

      Just because THE TECHNOLOGY IS NOT PERFECT does not mean it is NOT DOING WHAT IT’S intended to do. Sorry I’m having trouble controlling THE VOLUME OF MY VOICE.

      Do you hold everything to such a standard?

      Stop lights are meant to direct traffic. If someone runs a red light, is the technology not working as it should?

      The technology here, using computer vision to automatically flag potential damage, needed to be implemented alongside human supervision - an employee should be able to walk by the car, see that the flagged damage doesn’t actually exist, and override the algorithm.

      The technology itself isn’t bad, it’s how hertz is using it that is.

      I believe the unfortunate miscommunication here is that when @Ulrich@feddit.org said the solution was brilliant, they were referring to the technology as the “solution”, and others are referring to the implementation as a whole as the “solution”

        The stop light analogy would require the stop light be doing something wrong not the human element doing something wrong because.

        There is no human element to this implantation, it is the technology itself malfunctioning. There was no damage but the system thinks there is damage.

          Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. That’s the problem with the implementation.
