UVeye, an Israeli startup that uses artificial intelligence AI in the development of automated vehicle inspections systems, has been tapped by Swedish car maker Volvo to provide that company with its camera-based platform for vehicle inspections.
Volvo Car USA said that it is offering a new program to equip its U.S. retailers with automated vehicle-inspection systems. It will do so with high-speed, camera-based systems from Israel-based UVeye utilize artificial-intelligence and machine-learning technologies to check tires, underbody components and vehicle exteriors for defects, missing parts and other safety-related issues.
UVeye and Volvo Cars have collaborated since 2019 when the automaker became a strategic investor in the company through the Volvo Cars Tech Fund. Since then, Volvo Cars also has installed UVeye body-inspection scanners on its assembly lines for quality assurance.
