Introduction

Samsara has a new AI system. It is called Ground Intelligence. It uses cameras on trucks to find holes in the road.

Main Body

Many companies have problems with bad roads. Some companies use small groups of cars to find holes. Samsara is different. They have millions of trucks with cameras. This helps them find more problems faster. Samsara uses a computer program to learn about roads. The program sees the holes and says how bad they are. The trucks drive on the same roads every day. This gives the company a lot of good information. The city of Chicago uses this system now. The city does not wait for people to call them. They see the problems on a screen and fix them. The system also finds bad walls and broken power lines.

Conclusion

Samsara helps cities fix roads before they become a big problem.

🛠ī¸ Action Words (The Simple Present)

Look at these words from the story:

  • Uses (Samsara uses AI)
  • Finds (The system finds holes)
  • Drive (Trucks drive on roads)

The Secret Rule: When we talk about one thing/person (Samsara, The system), we add an -s to the action word.

  • One company →\rightarrow uses
  • One city →\rightarrow fixes

When we talk about many things (Trucks, Companies), we do not add an -s.

  • Many trucks →\rightarrow drive
  • Many companies →\rightarrow have
