Driving the news: Cox Automotive has integrated UVeye's AI vehicle scanning technology with its vAuto inventory platform, allowing dealers to automatically inspect and appraise trade-ins during service visits.
For context: The system uses computer vision to scan vehicles and generate condition reports that feed directly into vAuto's appraisal and inventory management tools, according to Cox Auto.
Dealerships like Brickell Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Miami are currently using the integration to process trade-ins while customers wait for service.
The technology captures detailed photos and condition data without moving vehicles from service bays.
Why it matters: This technology could usher in a new paradigm for how dealers handle trade-ins, turning what's usually a slow, subjective process into something fast and data-driven. Instead of customers waiting around for appraisals, dealers can make competitive offers while people are already at the dealership for service.
