“We’re building a layer of truth for mobility”
UVeye turns millions of vehicle scans into predictive maintenance data.

UVeye, the Israeli vehicle inspection technology company, says it is building what chief marketing officer Yaron Saghiv described as “a layer of truth for mobility,” using AI-driven scanning systems that automate vehicle diagnostics in seconds.
Speaking at the Mind the Tech New York 2026 conference hosted by Calcalist and Bank Leumi, Saghiv said the company’s systems are now deployed in more than 1,000 locations globally, primarily in North America.
The technology functions as a drive-through inspection system that captures thousands of high-resolution images of a vehicle’s exterior, underbody and tires. According to Saghiv, the scans can identify issues ranging from fluid leaks to tire wear within seconds.
“People call it an MRI for cars,” Saghiv said. “All you need to do is drive through it.”
The company is operating in an industry long associated with mistrust between drivers and repair shops, where consumers often rely on mechanics’ assessments without direct visibility into the underlying issues. Saghiv argued that the visual nature of UVeye’s system changes that dynamic.
“You’re not being told - you’re being shown,” he said. “You suddenly see a high-resolution picture of the underbody of your vehicle in a way you’ve never seen before.”
The scans and diagnostic results are stored digitally, creating what Saghiv described as a more consistent and transparent inspection process than traditional manual checks.
UVeye’s systems are designed to process vehicles continuously without requiring them to stop completely. According to Saghiv, the platform can handle four to five vehicles per minute, with diagnostic data uploaded to the cloud roughly 30 seconds later.
Beyond inspections, the company is also building what Saghiv said is one of the world’s largest real-time physical vehicle databases. The accumulated scan data is being used to develop predictive maintenance capabilities by identifying patterns tied to specific vehicle models, climates and operating conditions.
“We can understand how a leak would look way before it ever becomes an issue,” he said, citing examples involving specific vehicle types operating in particular regions and temperatures.
UVeye works with several automotive manufacturers, including Toyota, General Motors, Volvo and Hyundai, some of which have also invested in the company. Saghiv also referenced work with Amazon on fleet maintenance applications.
The company currently employs roughly 300 people, split between the United States and Israel, with research and development centered in Tel Aviv. While Saghiv declined to discuss specific exit plans, he said the company’s focus remains on scaling deployment globally.
“We pretty much conquered this category of automatic inspection,” he said. “Now it’s really about growth.”
