Hertz (and apparently Enterprise and Avis to follow) to use artificial intelligence to scan for damage upon a return...

Portion of Car Scanned --Typical faults caught
Undercarriage: frame cracks, leaks, brake/exhaust issues, missing parts
Tires + wheels: tread depth, sidewall bubbles, pressure, rim damage, mismatched sizes
Full body: dents, paint chips, glass cracks, missing trim

Of course the question exists, in the event of a Hertz damage claim at, or weeks or months following, a return, how transparent/willing will Hertz be in providing the Hertz renter with access to the prior scan (and what of the period of time between the prior scan and when the car was picked up)... and separately, what about providing the prior scan to the renter at pickup so they know the status?
