MTA to use artificial intelligence tech to keep buses from breaking down - Gothamist

The MTA plans to use artificial intelligence technology to help prevent buses from breaking down on the road. The agency has tested the tech -- from the company Preteckt -- for two years. He said it can flag serious equipment problems long in advance, enabling crews to be more proactive about bus maintenance. Sills said the technology prevents "progressive damage." "Where you have a small issue that can be fixed fairly inexpensively with little amount of time that, if you get ahead of, can prevent you from damaging a very expensive component," he said.
