TIME revealed its annual list of the Best Inventions, and included UVeye’s groundbreaking, AI-powered automated vehicle inspection technology in this year’s automotive category

Like an “MRI for vehicles,” UVeye’s AI drive-thru inspection systems are reshaping the way vehicle inspections are conducted. The systems leverage Deep Learning and the world’s largest database of vehicular components and flaws to conduct real-time examinations in seconds, delivering granular assessments that detect even the smallest defects.

TIME’s recognition highlights the way UVeye is driving the future of automotive inspection while enhancing safety, reliability, transparency and efficiency across the industry. UVeye’s systems bring vehicle inspection into the age of AI for dealerships, OEMs, fleet operators, insurers, and manufacturers.

“We’re supremely honored that UVeye’s AI-powered vehicle inspection systems have earned a spot on TIME’s prestigious Best Inventions list for 2024,” said Amir Hever, CEO and co-founder at UVeye. “Our mission is to bolster innovation in vehicular safety and smart transportation. Being named to this list is a testament to the ingenuity and drive of our amazing team and world-class partners.”

To compile this year’s list, TIME solicited nominations from TIME editors and correspondents around the world, and through an online application process, paying special attention to growing fields—such as health care, AI, and green energy. TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact.

Founded in 2016, UVeye’s team numbers over 200 employees. With installations in over 400 locations worldwide and collaborations with leading industry players including GM, Volvo, Hyundai, and Amazon, UVeye’s technology has become the global gold standard for vehicle inspection.
