CarBump keeps a car’s condition on record in 3D
CarBump turns a walk-around video into a 3D car model, then matches later photos to the same panels for before-and-after comparisons.
- For
- Drivers documenting rentals, leases, or used-car sales
- Worth noticing
- The beta marks poorly covered areas instead of filling gaps with AI, which could otherwise hide a dent.
Field notes
A walk-around video is processed on the service’s servers into a vehicle-specific 3D model; later ordinary photos are matched to panels and compared against the original scan. The beta marks uncovered areas rather than filling them with generated imagery, and its stated coverage is limited to panels between eye and waist height. CarBump says results depend on lighting and filming, with reflective white paint called out as a difficult case.
