If you're close enough to another vehicle on a gravel road that you're getting stones flicked up, there's no way that's a safe following distance, especially considering the increased stopping distances.
I have had nicks in my windshield due to gravel thrown up by vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.

Steve Lehto did a video on this too. Hertz is a garbage company. https://youtu.be/kGgPEIv65pU

I'm assuming they stuck a camera to an LLM?
Hey, if you don't know what you're assuming, there's no point asking us.
But I'll say YES, that's what you're assuming, just so you have an answer.
Most "AI" are fancy predictive texts. Not really intelligent in the first place but a good marketing scam.

This is a dumbass comment ngl

Tech companies are treating LLMs like how people back in the day would put asbestos or mercury in everything. "It's good at this one thing, it's gotta work for other stuff too."
It's got Radium! It's what the body craves!

Not you again. Yesterday you were annoying people about trump.
Immediate downvote.
I tend to "annoy" people about fascist dictators frequently but it's nice to know you have no counterargument and you downvote based on hate instead of the content of the comment itself.

How is a large language model going to apply to a visual inspection?
This is probably a CNN trained to identify different types of damage. Similar to how your phone identifies faces.

gravel travels fairly far when the vehicles are going 50 mph
If you're going 50mph on a gravel road, you are fucking up.

I took my car to the dealership (begrudgingly) for recall work, and they have one of these scanners. I'm not sure if AI is attached to it, but it clocked hundreds of dings and dents as "needing repair" despite everything being simple cosmetic scratches and dings.
A friend of mine works for a dealership, where they have one of these things too, and even raindrops will register thousands of dings on these readers. They're so full of shit to siphon every single penny out of their customers.

And just like that, I never rented from Hertz again.

It's easy to armchair quarterback when you have the benefit of hindsight.
Go ride a motorcycle and then come back and tell us how many pebbles got enough in your direction, despite following at safe distances. I can assure you that you will be very surprised.

Dents and scratches are not part of "using a car"
A pebble flung up from a passing car cracked my van's windshield the other day.

This is obviously not llm.

And I suppose you expect Hertz to eat the cost of replacing the windshield?

Windshields crack sometimes. Tough titties. It's a giant pane of fragile glass exposed to the elements.
If it's clearly not malicious, then yes, they should suck it up and pay for it. That's cost of doing business.

Whenever I've rented from Enterprise here in the US, they explicitly do not charge you for simple scuffs/scratches that aren't deeper than a specific amount (like 0.5cm or something).They've always told me they don't charge for dents that are smaller than around 2-4cm in diameter. In other words, basic wear and tear on cars being used by hundreds of people over their rental lifespan.
If Hertz ultimately goes down this path and their competitors do not, I would almost guarantee they'll lose tons of business.
Yeah but they'll lose that business next quarter, and the current shareholders will have already sold thier shares by the time that's reported so it doesn't matter.

LOL I don't even know what to say to that. "Tough titties" indeed. You're the one responsible for anything that should happens to the vehicle while it's in your possession, even if it's not entirely or even partly your fault.

And what if the windshield cracks due to temperature fluctuations? It happens. And on a rental car? Not my problem.

if the government doesn't want me going 50 they wouldn't have set the speed limit to 45
