ARTIFICIAL intelligence is being used to inspect vehicles due to be handed back at the end of a contract.
ADESA has deployed the UK’s first AI solution for the remarketing of vehicles, enabling drivers to carry out their own inspection, using a smartphone or tablet, an agreed number of days before they hand back a company car or a vehicle they have financed through personal contract purchase (PCP) or personal contract hire (PCH).
The driver is guided through a simple and quick self-appraisal which includes a pre-defined image capture walkthrough. This removes the need for third-parties to provide inspections at end of contract, saving significant time and costs, especially when a vehicle needs repair.
AI is used to automatically assess any damage to produce a fully costed damage report based on the finance provider’s charge-out method and in accordance with the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association’s (BVRLA) fair wear and tear standards.
ADESA Intelligent Vehicle Inspection enables end of contract vehicles to be remarketed online before they have been de-fleeted.
