AI-assisted vehicle inspections to begin in 2027

Türkiye has presented the technologies planned for a new vehicle inspection system that will begin operating on Aug. 15, 2027, including artificial intelligence-assisted imaging, contactless tire checks, underbody scans and robotic headlight tests.

TURKA, which will operate the country’s vehicle inspection services for 20 years from that date, demonstrated the system on real vehicles at a pilot center in Istanbul’s Arnavutköy district on Aug. 21.

The facility will serve as a testing, training and research center until the system is introduced across all 81 provinces.

Türkiye had more than 34.7 million registered vehicles at the end of July, according to official data.
