UVeye, an Israeli company specializing in vehicle inspection technology, is significantly expanding its reach into the global automotive industry. Founded in 2014, the company initially focused on sectors like law enforcement and security but has since pivoted to conquer the American car market and beyond.

AI is only as powerful as the truth it can generate at scale. With millions of vehicle scans flowing through our platform every month, UVeye is building a global layer of truth for the mobility ecosystem – creating a real-time understanding of vehicle condition across dealerships, fleets, logistics hubs, rental operations, and manufacturers worldwide.

— Amir HeverCEO and co-founder of UVeye, explaining the scale and impact of their AI-driven vehicle inspection platform.

Describing its technology as an "MRI for vehicles," UVeye employs a drive-thru system that utilizes computer vision and deep learning. This allows for precise, data-driven insights into vehicle anomalies. "AI is only as powerful as the truth it can generate at scale," stated Amir Hever, CEO and co-founder. "With millions of vehicle scans flowing through our platform every month, UVeye is building a global layer of truth for the mobility ecosystem – creating a real-time understanding of vehicle condition across dealerships, fleets, logistics hubs, rental operations, and manufacturers worldwide.”

The company's mission extends beyond mere inspection automation, aiming to build the AI infrastructure for safer roads, smarter operations, better products, and more transparent consumer experiences. UVeye's systems are deployed across the automotive ecosystem, scanning over 3.5 million vehicles monthly and generating the world's largest database of vehicle components. The technology can detect issues with tires, undercarriages, and exteriors in seconds, boasting 96% accuracy compared to approximately 24% for manual checks.

Our mission goes far beyond inspection automation. We are creating the AI infrastructure that will help power safer roads, smarter operations, better products, and more transparent consumer experiences across the automotive industry.

— Amir HeverCo-founder of UVeye, elaborating on the company's broader vision for the automotive sector.

UVeye has secured strategic partnerships with major automakers, including Toyota, Hyundai, Volvo, and General Motors, integrating its scanning systems into their operations. The technology is also utilized in logistics hubs and distribution centers like Amazon for rapid inspections during high-volume transfers. The company is further developing inspection capabilities for commercial trucks and buses, with the capability to scan "anything that physically fits in our scanner."

If it physically fits in our scanner, we can scan it.
