MOTORMIA, a new automotive platform utilizing AI, has announced the backing of multiple venture capital firms. Mia, the platform’s revolutionary AI virtual assistant, can tailor users’ experiences to various levels of knowledge, generate AI vehicle renderings, make performance upgrade suggestions and help users understand the best choices for specific build goals, according to the company.

“Our mission is to transform and enrich the aftermarket experience for enthusiasts, manufacturers and service professionals,” said Isaac Bunick, MOTORMIA founder and chief enthusiast officer. “By delivering a seamless consumer AI experience, Mia can make the enthusiast lifestyle more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.”
