AI is reshaping the automotive industry. From buying cars in showrooms to auto loans, attendees at AIMCONNECT 2026 said companies need to offer more flexible and transparent experiences across car purchases, financing, and mobility platforms. AI agents are suited to pricing, financial calculations, document verification, and fraud pattern detection, but humans should remain responsible for final loan denials, exceptions, fraud escalations, customers in hardship, and complaints. Auto loan affordability should also take into account down payments, interest, insurance, maintenance, and the stability of borrowers’ income, especially in markets such as Mexico where access to financing is limited.
