Curious which/what dealerships or car mfgs are onboard with this or driving this development. I think the biggest issue is ensuring some level of human review and shorting a workflow at any given step before the purchase itself.
There are a lot of shady dealings and scammers around auto sales... Having certain assurances and safeguards is definitely important here.
Disclosure: I used to work for a used auto classifieds site, and own a domain I'd intended to use for that same purpose.
That's a very good point. Automotive domain is kinda slow in moving forward with new standards / protocols.
Primary companies are going with a new protocol are Lumika (AI BDC for Automotive Dealerships) and Space Auto (Modern CRM & Website providers for Automotive Dealerships).
There are multiple partners considering joining the contract by unifying their format.
