More Australian drivers are letting artificial intelligence take a virtual look under their car's bonnet in an effort to save money and help them fix issues at home.
But in a trend experts say is concerning, one in every three motorists say they trust recommendations from AI chatbots as much as those from human mechanics.
Automotive group Mycar revealed the findings on Friday in a report that also found more Australians were driving less, taking public transport more, and delaying vehicle upgrades to save money.
