Renting a car for a road trip?

Watch out.

Your car was scanned already by AI.

To cut costs and turn cars around faster, rental companies are replacing human inspectors with high-speed AI scanners.

These systems take thousands of photos to analyze everything from your tire tread to the undercarriage.

And here's the thing, AI does make mistakes.

One guy got a $600 bill weeks after going through one

for a scuffed wheel that was damaged before he even picked it up.

So to protect yourself, take a video of the car before you leave and when you return.

These scanners check the roof and the undercarriage, so capture the bottom of the car too.

And if they do send you a bill, ask for their proof and then show them yours.

Splash of AI is my free weekly newsletter, where I cut through the hype and show you how AI is actually saving people real time and money.

Here in the U.S., they actually sell your browsing history.

Until that changes, you need to protect yourself.
