This kind of AI tech sounds promising as long as it's used fairly. The current system really puts too much pressure on renters, especially first-timers or those who aren’t used to inspecting every inch of a car under time pressure.
Automated scans before and after the rental could actually protect both sides — renters from being blamed for pre-existing damage, and companies from dishonest claims. But transparency is key. Renters should have full access to both sets of images and a chance to dispute any claims before charges are made.
Tech should reduce stress, not add to it. Let’s hope they implement this with accountability.
