"Artificial intelligence" can't handle little numbers on licence plates but it's worth eighty quintilllion right? 🤡.
"The plates that were allegedly stolen were 34 03 DTM, not 34 10 DTM. But when the police report was created and the plate entered into Flock’s system, it was just recorded as 34 DTM. And Flock’s AI tech didn't see the little number when it began picking up the Range Rover around town. It just saw 34 DTM and started alerting the local police."
