Offering backgrounds in product management, data engineering and entrepreneurship, the founders of this project intend to generate an AI valuation tool that will give better predictions of the depreciation and residual value of cars. In addition to manufacturers and car dealerships, this innovation should encourage greater uptake of electric and hybrid vehicles, and generate a year-5 post-project revenue of over &amp;pound;8M.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
