Drivers of animal-drawn vehicles and machinery

5.6%

ADI · 387th of 433 · 95% interval 0.0–16.7

An AI agent can at least partly carry out 5.6% of the task time of drivers of animal-drawn vehicles and machinery, and finish 0.0% alone. The barrier that holds most of the rest back is access to the systems the work runs on.
