$440 Charge For A Wheel Scuff Raises Questions About Hertz's AI Rental Car Damage Scanner

I took my car to the dealership (begrudgingly) for recall work, and they have one of these scanners. I'm not sure if AI is attached to it, but it clocked hundreds of dings and dents as "needing repair" despite everything being simple cosmetic scratches and dings.

A friend of mine works for a dealership, where they have one of these things too, and even raindrops will register thousands of dings on these readers. They're so full of shit to siphon every single penny out of their customers.

Welcome to Lemmy.zip

Hello! Just joined from lemm.ee, happy to be here! Once I get settled in I plan on donating to help keep server maintenance. I understand the value in decentralized platforms, and wish I had done so with lemm.ee (which wasn't their problem, it was moderation, but I digress).

I look forward to seeing familiar usernames here! 😁

Perhaps... It only started once I switched to lemmy.zip from lemm.ee. I'd been using Boost on lemm.ee pretty much since the reddit API debacle with no issues. I've switched to Interstellar in the meantime since I have a Piefed alt, but I prefer how Boost looks and feels.
