13、ear arrangements vary according to train operators（运营商）.If you were due to travel, to say Aberdeen from London, your train is cancelled and you decide not to travel, you can get a full compensation.

14、cting train was delayed, you can take the next available train.FlightsIf your flight is cancelled because of the snow you have the right to s full compensation of the ticket, or to be rerouted home on a later flight.But you will have no right to get a delay or cancellation compensation under EU rule

15、s, because the snow is an extraordinary circumstance beyond the airlines control.

16、 at the earliest opportunity, or at the passengers free time, you are supposed to take the availability of seats.If you choose to be rerouted or if your departure is delayed by more than two hours, airlines also have to provide assistance such as food.

20、lures in driverless vehicles. But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology. One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers

21、save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals.One of the companies is ecoRobotix of SwitzerLand. It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The robot has four wheels to carry it through the fields in search of weeds. Computer-controlled arms

22、 then lower and spray the weeds with small amounts of herbicide(除草剂). Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. A farmer can also

23、control the equipment through a smart-phone.The co-founder of ecoRobotix, Aurelien Demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times 1ess herbicide than traditional methods. This is because the system uses exactly the right amount of chemical in the exact place required to kill the weeds. C

24、urrently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.Another company developing farm robotics is California-based Blue River Technology. The company has a system called See & Spray, which it claims was the worlds first smart sprayer. The system-which connects to the ba

25、ck of a tractor-is also equipped with AI to identify and chemically kill only the weeds. It can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow. Ben Chostner, vice-president of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that See & Spray technology uses the sa

26、me deep learning methods used in facial recognition. The first time the machine saw a pigweed, it didnt know what kind of plant it was.

34、passengers such a good start to the day. Please keep doing it.”I said.There are two messages for me in what happened that day.

The number of satellite staff at the launch center has been reduced by nearly half, and the testing time before launch has been shortened by nearly a third.

But it is hard to measure by just how much, because prices vary for all sorts of reasons, from differences in labour costs and rents to taxes.
