We all know that the subject of AI is all over the board these days. With all the data that is being collected in motor vehicles, it would be great if Scout Motors takes it beyond Diagnostics and Maintenance but takes advantage of all the data collected to make our driving experience much more personal but also well under ones control. I could imagine an AI assistant that not only understands the Scouts operations but also anticipates the drivers needs, learns from ones driving habits and truly enhances the overall driving experience whether onroad or offroad. Of course the options should be selectable or enable the driver to turn them off all together.

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
I’m still not convinced AI is the right answer. This is a product of engineering and design and both of those subjects are poorly managed-supported by AI. Just had a conversation last week with an engineer. He’s totally into AI but still can’t get it to work and be consistent within the confines of engineering solutions.
Maybe for diagnostics but I think you’d have to have very routine schedules for AI to determine what your driving needs are. Even our iPhones guess where we want to go because the car is pointed north. For me I say keep it in the background but who knows- maybe breakthroughs are on the way to improving driver/vehicle interface.

The less AI involved in our lives, the better. It honestly grosses me out that people think AI is a good thing. If things need to be personal, hire human beings to analyze data. AI should be a tool, not a replacement for human beings. I don’t need AI to suggest that I watch air disaster movies the night before I take a plane trip when I’m a nervous flyer and yet…
I honestly want exactly the opposite. AI is insidious and dystopian as hell. I don't want my vehicle knowing a damn thing about me. I know there's likely going to be constant tracking and data flowing in out of the vehicle which is troubling enough. Last thing I need is a computer system trying to analyze me and adjust my behavior. Privacy should should be important to people, why would you want more data points for big data brokers / insurance companies to exploit?
I worked internet security once as an intern (Network Operations Center, Intrusion Detection stuff).
Despite not going into that field, and not being "current" on it, I'm jaded as all get out, and privacy is a big deal to me. I'm all about reducing threat profiles.
Indeed. I don’t want to keep handing intelligence agencies and corporate America the keys to my personal info so that their jobs are easier to do. My life is nobody’s business but my own. The internet has definitely turned me into an oversharer at my own discretion, but that’s the thing: it’s at my own discretion.
