Although modern cars come equipped with all kinds of advanced technologies, I am pretty sure a strange sound coming out of your vehicle has worried you at least once, at some point in time. Oftentimes, general drivers cannot analyze the internal problems of automobiles with just a strange sound. And that makes the maintenance process for car owners quite a hassle. So, to help drivers instantly detect internal problems of cars, Skoda has developed a new app that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect internal defects of a car just by listening to the sound of it.

Now, the way “Sound Analyser” works, is pretty straight-forward. When a driver or a mechanic initiates the app, it records the sound of the defective car. Then, it uses the AI algorithm to compare this recorded sound with many of the pre-recorded sounds of healthy cars. So, if there is an anomaly in the sound pattern of the defective car, the app can detect the internal issue and suggest a relevant fix for the same.
