What does AI have to say about this sort of driving – anything?

Remember that press release from Aggregate Industries last year?

Safety must come first as dangerous lorry driving hits the headlines

At Aggregate Industries, for example, we operate a robust theory and practical testing process when recruiting a new haulier… etc etc

At the time, we pointed to examples of how well AI’s safety programme was performing in practice. And before that, other examples too.

Here’s another:

You would have hoped – when someone takes the trouble of alerting AI of dangerous driving, through social media or otherwise – it would prompt some sort of reply, along the lines: Thank you for alerting us to this appalling behaviour. We take these matters very seriously and will warn the driver to make sure this never happens again.

But AI has not, at the time of writing, responded to this tweet. Is it not troubled by such behaviour – the same behaviour that caused the Newbury A34 tragedy in 2016 and others?
