Systems and techniques for inspecting vehicles, such as cars or trucks. Some embodiments provide a method for inspecting a vehicle using a vehicle inspection system. The vehicle inspection system may include a vehicle exterior inspection system having a plurality of exterior sensor arrays, the plurality of exterior sensor arrays including respective sets of sensors oriented in different directions. The vehicle inspection system may include a vehicle undercarriage inspection system having an undercarriage sensor array including cameras configured to capture images at different angles, and a sensor configured to output vehicle position/motion data. In some embodiments, the method includes: moving the vehicle and/or vehicle inspection system; triggering capture, by the exterior sensor arrays and undercarriage sensor array, of sensor data about the vehicle; capturing the sensor data; stopping capture of the sensor data; stopping movement of the vehicle and/or vehicle inspection system; and generating a vehicle condition report.

Systems and techniques for vehicle inspection and condition analysis

Systems and techniques for inspecting vehicles. Some embodiments provide a system for vehicle inspection, including a support member having a first portion and a second portion angled relative to the first, and a plurality of sensor arrays coupled thereto. The plurality of sensor arrays may include respective sets of cameras oriented in multiple directions. The plurality of sensor arrays may be coupled to the support member at different positions. The plurality of sensor arrays may include: a first sensor array having one or more wheels of a vehicle in its field of view (FOV) when imaging the vehicle, a second sensor array having vehicle side in its FOV when imaging the vehicle, and a third sensor having a vehicle roof in its FOV when imaging the vehicle. The system may also include a processor configured to control the plurality of sensor arrays to capture images of the vehicle.
