Turn every street, parking lot, and car meet into a game. ChromaDrive uses AI vision to identify almost any car from a single photo — make, model, year, even the trim — then scores how rare it is on a 0–1,000 scale across seven collectible tiers, from Common all the way to Unicorn. HOW IT WORKS • Snap a photo of any car • AI identifies it instantly and pulls the specs, history, and fun facts • Get a rarity score and tier — the rarer the find, the higher you climb • Save it to your virtual garage and watch your collection grow • Save it to your virtual garage and watch your collection grow BUILD YOUR GARAGE Every car you spot is added to your personal collection.
