DIMO Pioneers AI-Powered Vehicle Data Platform with Built-in User Consent

**AI assistants are becoming more intelligent** when they can access a vehicle's complete history and data records. MotorTrend's review of the 2025 Ram 1500 highlights how AI integration is gradually becoming part of everyday driving experiences. **Key capabilities emerging:** - AI ingests car data, personal information, and external API data - Acts as a genius assistant to help drivers save money and time - Enables safer driving through intelligent recommendations - Can autonomously book repairs, find cheaper insurance, and even sell vehicles This represents a shift toward **AI-orchestrated commerce for vehicles** - where intelligent systems handle routine tasks and optimize decisions based on comprehensive vehicle and driver data. The transformation is happening *slowly, then suddenly* as AI becomes deeply integrated into our daily lives as vehicle owners and drivers.
