New joint solutions from their strategic partnership will be demonstrated at the NADA show, showcasing automation for condition-driven acquisition and faster retail-ready merchandising

UVeye, a global leader in AI-powered retail vehicle inspection, and Cox Automotive’s vAuto announced the launch of AI-powered retail service lane vehicle inspection and condition intelligence for mutual dealers, a significant collaboration aimed at streamlining dealership workflows.

For dealerships who license both companies’ services, this deepening collaboration will yield future bundled solutions and cross-platform workflows across the Cox Automotive portfolio designed to further reduce friction, cycle time, and subjectivity while improving decision speed and transparency.

The partnership, announced in August 2025, showed early promise from the first wave of joint product testing that integrated UVeye’s inspection data into appraisal, pricing, and inventory tools already used by select vAuto dealers. The offering has been used by 125 different users and resulted in over 850 vehicles being acquired with the automated processes. The next step is leveraging the automated photos and AI-driven asset creation to speed the time to being retail-ready.

This integration is live at Brickell Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Miami. “We’re at a time when market conditions make every decision and deal a profitability make or break,” said Jonathan Noda, General Manager, Brickell Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. “Linking these processes together so we can scan a vehicle, evaluate its condition with precision, and give an on-the-spot offer before the customer leaves the service lane or car lot, has unlocked an entirely new advantage for our dealership.”

UVeye’s technology, already installed at hundreds of car dealerships across the US, captures exterior, underbody, and tire conditions in seconds, generating standardized inspection data and imagery. That crucial data will now support faster appraisals, automated merchandising, service-to-sales workflows, and more efficient inventory acquisition.

“AI is reshaping how dealers source, appraise, and merchandise vehicles by putting real-time condition data at the center of every decision,” said Derek Hansen, Senior Vice President of Dealer, Lender and Inventory Management Solutions at Cox Automotive. “By harnessing AI and predictive insights, dealers can act faster in the service lane, identify acquisition opportunities earlier, and work to improve the overall customer experience with more transparent, data-driven processes.”

“This partnership is about turning AI inspections into automated actions,” said Amir Hever, CEO and co-founder of UVeye. “By partnering with Cox Automotive, we’re helping dealers operate with more clarity, speed and efficiency across service, sales, and wholesale.”

The new capabilities will be demonstrated at the upcoming NADA Show from February 3-6, 2026 in Las Vegas with live demonstrations at both the Cox Automotive and UVeye (4723W) booths.

Additional joint solutions and expanded integrations are expected to roll out throughout 2026.
