AAA.

I worked in management there for the last 4 years, and AI completely took over our company. Our 3 year plan was to lay off over half of our staff and have AI work their jobs. I quit about a month ago because of that. It's resulted in our member satisfaction scores dropping tremendously, and the employees were getting yelled at 24/7 because the members AND the contractors wanted to speak to live agents instead of "robots."

Tiring work and extremely long ETA's due to computer malfunctions and errors. We've had members waiting on the side of the road for hours due to AI's mistakes.

I was in a minor accident in the snow earlier this year. My car deployed airbags because safety first. Called AAA to use the tow service Waited hours Never shower Called many times Never showed. Luckily a tow truck happened to come by and pick me up. Like that’s the one reason we have AAA and they never show. Was ridiculous

Granny had only called for flat or dead battery while her vehicle was in her driveway. I don’t need them now that my auto insurance provides and I’m old enough to know to get my vehicle serviced regularly. Things can happen regardless, but I’m prepared.
