DriveDex turns everyday car-spotting into a game. Point your camera at any car, and AI identifies the make, model, and trim in seconds — then adds it to your personal Dex. Every car you scan gets logged in your virtual garage. Track your collection, hunt down rare finds, climb the leaderboard, and try to complete the full Dex — from daily drivers to unicorn hypercars. This is built solo as a passion project, so every comment genuinely shapes the roadmap.
