If it takes a whole 60 seconds for this glorified camera-carwash contraption to scan a vehicle and generate a report, they are charging $11,400/hour.
Hertz, I will personally sit on a roller stool with a camera and make beep boop sounds for that dough. Take my resume.
The jo is harder than that. You have to occasionally say "enhance".
Yeah, but can I also occasionally hallucinate like many AI’s apparently do?
That's what they are hoping for so they can charge their customers for damages that don't exist and go computers don't make mistakes when you complain.
