Amir Hever shared thisI shared some thoughts in Forbes Technology Council on how this shift is already changing vehicle design, fleet maintenance, inspections and ultimately road safety. Would love to hear your thoughts. https://lnkd.in/g2w8zEGXThe Data That Used To Explain Car Crashes Now Helps Prevent ThemThe Data That Used To Explain Car Crashes Now Helps Prevent Them

Amir Hever shared thisThe scan is the most visible part of UVeye, but it is only the tip of the iceberg. Dear LinkedIn friends and UVeye clients - every month I’m going to share a few of the product developments we’re rolling out, what we’re working on, and hopefully get some feedback from you along the way Here’s what shipped this month, all focused on saving dealers time, removing manual work and increasing ROI. 1. Instant VDP Promo Banners: Dealers can add offers and promotional messaging directly onto UV360 exterior images - helping move vehicles from Scan to Sold without another design step. 2. Exclude Repeat VINs: Dealers can now count each VIN once within a rolling 30-day window, giving teams a much cleaner view of scanner utilization and real ROI. 3. Smarter Inventory Filters: New filters make it much faster to find the vehicles that need attention. Less scrolling, less digging, faster action. 4. Apollo on Android: Our interior scanner and phone app (Apollo) is now available directly through Google Play, making it easier for more dealership teams to use it wherever the work happens. 5. Free Marketing Hub for Dealers: Pick your OEM, add your dealership logo and instantly create branded showroom, social and marketing assets. Logo in, asset out. And we’re already seeing what removing manual work can mean in practice. I want to spotlight Emich Kia in Denver, moving merchandising photography to UVeye helped reduce average vehicle listing time from seven days to one, while saving the dealership $2,000–$3,000 every month. That’s really what we’re trying to build toward - connecting everything from Service to Sales while taking manual work away from dealership teams and creating measurable value for the business. Huge credit to our product and R&D teams who keep listening to customers and pushing the experience forward. Full September update in the first comment.

Amir Hever shared thisAbout two and a half years ago, I met Ryan LaFontaine and asked him a simple question: how can UVeye be a great partner to you? His answer stuck with me: “Tell me how this can help my customers and make their experience better.” Today, we cut the ribbon on a rollout across 40+ LaFontaine Automotive Group locations throughout Michigan. The group is now opening vehicle scans to the wider Michigan community. To me, this is what adopting new technology should look like. Not technology for its own sake, but technology that creates a better experience, builds trust and becomes genuinely useful to people. We’re proud to be part of that journey - and of a future where getting your vehicle scanned can become as simple and accessible as driving through for a cup of coffee.

Amir Hever shared thisGetting your car scanned is now as easy as driving through for a cup of coffee ☕ LaFontaine Automotive Group is making UVeye inspection lanes accessible to Michigan residents, with locations within approximately 20 minutes for much of the state - because everyone deserves access to a complimentary scan. Seeing is everything. Thank you to Ryan and the LaFontaine Automotive Group for being such incredible partners, and to Ed Garsten and Forbes for covering the story. https://lnkd.in/gAaTqRH8UVeye Partners With Dealer Group For First Statewide Inspection NetworkUVeye Partners With Dealer Group For First Statewide Inspection Network

Amir Hever shared thisStrong partnerships aren't just built on technology and business results they're built on shared values.

Amir Hever shared thisBringing us closer to our vision of understanding the real-time condition of any vehicle and connecting intelligence across the entire mobility ecosystem. A huge credit to our hardware, AI, operations, and field teams who made this happen.Amir Hever shared thisWe are officially expanding our automated vehicle inspection technology into the commercial trucking sector through a new partnership with Mesilla Valley Transportation. As one of North America's largest privately owned transportation companies, MVT operates thousands of trucks and trailers across the United States, Mexico and Canada. By deploying our automated drive-thru systems, they are shifting away from traditional, manual walk-arounds. UVeye performs a complete 360-degree scan to instantly flag underbody, tire, mechanical and exterior defects. This creates an objective, visual and timestamped digital record of fleet health, allowing MVT to protect uptime, eliminate guesswork and reduce liability before a truck ever leaves the yard.

I am super proud of and indebted to the technology, global operations, and the senior leadership teams for coming together to drive the cultural and technology transformation needed to usher in a new era for the company. Together, we achieved world class systems reliability and performance, deployed brand new mobile and desktop digital platforms, consolidated global data warehouses, launched new products to serve customers better, and built/deployed meaningful AI solutions across our business and technology functions. Needless to say, any transformation traverses significant phases, and with the incredible foundation we’ve created, the next phases of transformation will be well within reach to drive greater and sustained business outcomes.

It was what this kind of technology could make possible in Washington State. 💡 Washington already has an established network of privately operated vehicle licensing subagents providing title and registration services with the WADOL. Driver licensing, however, remains a separate state-operated, tax payer funded service. Why not eventually combine them? CHAMP’s 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗸𝟯𝟲𝟬 is designed to bring driver services through IDLS and vehicle transactions through VTAS — Vehicle Title and Registration System into ONE clerk-facing workspace. Imagine qualified Washington subagents being authorized and trained to handle both driver licensing and vehicle licensing from the same privately operated office. That could mean: • One-stop service for customers • Better use of Washington’s existing private licensing infrastructure • Fewer duplicative public-facing facilities • Expanded opportunities for private licensing businesses • Potentially lower taxpayer costs associated with maintaining a separate state-operated driver licensing network To me, that is the exciting part of DMV modernization. The taxpayers burden replaced by private industry is a win-win! Modern technology can create an opportunity to rethink how licensing services are delivered altogether. #IDLS #WAVS #DMVModernization #CHAMP #Clerk360

Amir Hever liked thisAmir Hever liked thisI founded Ottopia to save lives on the road. A call for help on October 7 took that mission to the battlefield. Responding to that call expanded our work from software into complete systems, drawing on our experience with OEMs and autonomy leaders worldwide. We already understood that dependable autonomy means recognizing when a system reaches its limits and enabling a person to intervene and keep the mission moving. Over the past two years, we’ve made a major leap forward in autonomy through our Hybrid AI approach, combining autonomous capabilities with human judgment and precise remote intervention. Applying our supervised autonomy to defense revealed a global need: helping militaries carry out dangerous missions with less risk to humans. When I first met the Ondas team earlier this year, something clicked. At least on my side, and I now have convincing evidence it was mutual. I recognized a familiar DNA: ambition, urgency and a willingness to get into the details and make things work. Their “Bots Before Boots” vision reflected what was driving us too. Working together felt like a natural next step. Today, Ondas Inc. is acquiring Ottopia’s defense business, and I am joining Ondas to lead Ottopia Defense. Our shared vision is to enable unmanned military power at scale: autonomous systems working together across domains, with people commanding, supervising and intervening when needed. Joining Ondas gives us the opportunity to bring that vision to a very, very broad range of platforms and missions. Ottopia will continue independently in civilian Physical AI, led by Paul Kandel as Managing Director and Alex Kirshon as CTO. I know their talent, judgment and dedication firsthand. Alex and Paul are exceptional people who care deeply about this company, and I’m proud to hand them the reins. With Physical AI expanding rapidly, they and the team have an enormous opportunity ahead. To our people, both those joining me at Ondas and those continuing at Ottopia: you built the technology, earned our customers’ trust and made this possible. I’m deeply proud of you. To our Board and Shareholders, thank you for your trust and support along the way. And to my wife, Liora Rosenzweig: thank you for your love and steady support through every turn. I’m grateful to have you beside me. I’m excited to build with the Ondas team and to see Ottopia thrive under Alex and Paul. More soon!
