This Company Uses Machine Learning to Find Owners of Recalled Cars

#artificialintelligence

When a car company issues a recall, it's typically on dealerships to reach out to affected customers. But since vehicles can change hands, leaving records out of date, dealers aren't always able to provide drivers with this at times vital information. One company that addresses this issue is Recall Masters, founded by programmer Chris Miller. Recall Masters, which employs 20 people and even a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., collects data from more than 50 different sources, then utilizes machine learning to analyze it. The startup can then determine if a vehicle qualifies for a recall and who its current owner is -- even if it has been resold multiple times -- by poring over billions of transactions, according to Miller.
