Recently, the DC Metro has enabled Automatic Train Operation, and it has been great as a rider. Train rides seem to be significantly smoother and quicker. From an engineering perspective, I think this is a great form of AI in the form of domain specific automation. Trains are running based on clearly defined parameters and success criteria.
When riding the bus yesterday, I was also impressed with the new domain specific automation shown in the picture below. It took the GPS position of the bus and showed the upcoming stops.
This week, I have also been appreciating the automated weather forecast models telling about the upcoming heat wave.
Also, I leveraged a domain specific automation to make this blog post. I did not write this post in HTML and manually upload it to a server. Instead, I logged into the WordPress CMS and typed content using a visual builder tool. Once I clicked the save button, the changes went live.
