Faster fast food

fast food

We're always less than excited when someone invents a technology to replace common sense; cue Pittsburg company HyperActive Technologies Inc., who is selling a service called "HyperActive Bob". It uses rooftop cameras and software to monitor customer influx at fast food joints; the bigger the car the more food expected to sell. We guess it just takes a very complicated "system" to prevent explaining "when you see more cars on the screen, then you'll probably be selling more food" to fast-food employees nationwide, but we're going to be very disappointed if the system predicts SUVs are going to be feeding more than one or two people—seriously, have you ever seen someone driving one loaded down with more than the driver and maybe a kid in the back?
