Consumer-facing ADAS quality rating per vehicle model for used car buyers — like Carfax but for autonomous driving software quality.
AI Thinking Process
Thread 6: Consumer ADAS Safety Score — $19-29 per vehicle check for used car buyers. Like Carfax for autonomous driving quality. Transaction pricing at a high-value purchase event.
Carfax provides accident history. iSeeCars provides price analysis. Euro NCAP provides safety ratings for new vehicles only. None provides ADAS software version quality scoring.
WHAT CHECK failed on CURRENT step: what does the used car buyer do RIGHT NOW without this product? They check Carfax for accident history and test-drive the car. They do not explicitly evaluate ADAS quality because they don't recognize it as a variable. The problem may not be real enough for consumers to pay for.
Kill reason: POSITIONAL (wrong customer, not fundamental). Pivot: consumer → B2B insurance underwriters. Insurance companies DO recognize ADAS quality as a pricing variable — they just cannot measure it. Creating Thread 5 (Independent ADAS Risk Scoring for Insurance).
REBORN as Thread 5 (S3: Independent ADAS Risk Scoring for Auto Insurance). B2B version survives Pass 1 at 45% conviction. Consumer version confirmed killed.
Kill Reason
Consumer WHAT CHECK failed: used car buyers do not recognize ADAS software quality as a purchase variable when buying used cars — they care about accident history, price, and mileage. Consumer does not identify the pain. The sophisticated ADAS quality evaluation is a B2B need (insurance underwriters who must price risk), not a consumer need.
