✨ NEW SERIES! Trygve Pedersen, Managing Director at Wenn, joined me for the very first episode of the AutoTech series where every month we'll take a quick ride through the wild world of automotive tech. This month, we pull back the curtain on Wenn—a startup that's revving up the rental car game with AI-powered damage detection. Born at a humble kitchen table in Norway just six years ago, this company’s scanning tech snaps detailed pics of rental cars at pickup and drop-off, ensuring transparency and trust smoother than a freshly paved road. With electric vehicles zooming into the mainstream—especially in Norway, where they're practically the national mascot—this startup’s solution is cutting disputes over dings and scratches faster than you can say "road trip." Operating across eight European countries and eyeing a U.S. expansion, their tech processes cars quicker than a pit stop, keeping rental lines moving without a hitch. Trygve also shares his thoughts on the automotive industry’s future, predicting transformative changes in transportation tech over the next five years. If you're attending MOVE America in Detroit next month and you're *also* in the rental car industry, be sure to have a chat with Trygve!
