August 26, 20178 yr The future arrived last week in Phuket. Saw it now twice in Kathu. Good or a slowly ticking bomb on wheels?
August 26, 20178 yr Does not pick up leaves and other litter. Only gets dirt and diesel dust/grime if it's anything like the ones in America. Usually makes a grimy mess because it sprays water first then brushes over the grime smearing it all over the road.

(HAKO, German brand with an Austrian license plate) Such machines are in widespread use in Germany e.g. I don't think that they necessarily spray water (maybe optional). They work with brooms and a strong vacuum cleaner. Would be nice to see an up-to-date picture from Phuket. It's about two years that I saw a big sweeper (truck size) some European band in Udon Thani. Was too surprised to take a pic.

August 26, 20178 yr If the sweeper thingies don't work out, maybe they can convert it to a vacuum cleaner for rats. Like they hoover up prairie dogs back in Wyoming. http://kgab.com/wyoming-prairie-dogs-should-fear-the-vacuum-video/
August 26, 20178 yr The ladies going down the roads can get between the cars and the kerbs (and they recycle a lot from the bins) which these things can't. I can't see them disappearing soon.
