Plochingen, Germany – With the increasing complexity of modern vehicles, workshops face growing challenges in quickly finding the right repair information. Bosch is therefore expanding its ESI[tronic] diagnostic software to include an AI-based assistant. Thanks to the new assistance function, faults and the corresponding repair solution are identified immediately. The feature will be introduced with the 2026/4 software update at the end of the year and will be previewed at the Automechanika trade fair in Frankfurt.
