Title: Arteficial Intelligence comes to the railways? Post by: grahame on April 09, 2014, 21:06:36 Quote A freight train has reported some of it's wheels have come off the track, there are no reported injuries as a result of the derailment. That's a mighty clever train. Or is there an element of truth - is there an onboard monitoring system that will automatically report a derailment?

This is nothing new; 1950's Goons script: Bloodnock 'This is the police station speaking' Eccles: 'Oooh, clever police station......' Sorry, off-topic, I know, but couldn't resist it. Tee hee hee.

Talking of round..... Goons 1950's: Ned Seagoon (having wandered into a building) 'Lets look round!' Eccles: 'But you already look round....' Title: Re: Arteficial Intelligence comes to the railways?
