Haces una foto a un coche y CarLens te dice cuál es: marca, modelo, generación, años aproximados y precio. Cada acierto enciende una marca de tu álbum de 311. Funciona igual con una foto que ya tengas en la galería, y los precios salen en tu moneda. En el álbum están las marcas de toda la vida y las que solo has visto una vez, y empiezan todas apagadas. Los coches que guardas se quedan en tu iPhone. Las identificaciones y los precios los genera una inteligencia artificial a partir de una sola foto: cada resultado viene con su nivel de confianza, y el precio es una orientación, no una tasación. Identificar coches requiere cuenta y suscripción, semanal, mensual o anual, que se renueva sola hasta que la canceles en los ajustes de tu cuenta de Apple. La suscripción se renueva automáticamente hasta que la canceles. Puedes cancelarla en cualquier momento desde los ajustes de tu cuenta de Apple, al menos 24 horas antes del final del periodo en curso.
