  • Patent number: 12054175
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to automated vehicle condition grading. In examples, a set of images for a vehicle are processed using a machine learning engine to generate an optical vehicle condition grade for each image of the set. The resulting set of optical vehicle condition grades may be aggregated to generate an aggregate optical vehicle condition grade for the vehicle. In some examples, additional information associated with the vehicle is processed, which may be used to generate an adjustment grade. Accordingly, the adjustment grade and the aggregate optical vehicle condition grade are used to generate a final vehicle condition grade for the vehicle. The final vehicle condition grade is associated with the vehicle in a vehicle condition grade data store for subsequent use by the vehicle grading service and/or by an associated client device, among other examples.
