Sheryl Sandberg has led an $10 million investment into Self Inspection, a startup aiming to transform vehicle inspections using smartphone cameras. Founded in 2021, the company boasts over one million inspections for major players like Stellantis.

The pitch is simple: everyone has a camera, and now they can use it to inspect cars as accurately as a body shop. By comparing photos with a vast damaged vehicle database, Self Inspection provides detailed repair estimates. This technology promises significant savings in both time and money for businesses involved in car rental, finance, and auctions.

Other startups like UVeye are also tackling the modernization of automotive inspections from an infrastructural perspective. However, Self Inspection’s focus on accessibility makes it a game-changer. Just send someone a link – no need to be a tech whizz. The platform even interfaces with OBD2 computers for added detail.

With over $80 million in cost savings and 300,000 hours saved from operational inefficiencies, Self Inspection is clearly making waves. The new funding will see the company expand into Europe and develop more products, aiming to become the industry’s go-to system of record for vehicle condition.
