Representative capture environment for this set. Rooms are recorded as found — clutter is signal, not something we tidy away before rolling.

Named skills

What the operators were told to do.

Coverage is specified per skill, not per hour. These are the skill lines currently filled in this environment.

  • Torque wrench to spec on a wheel
  • Fluid drain and fill
  • Trim and clip removal without damage
  • Diagnostic connector seat and read
  • Filter swap in a constrained cavity

Environments captured

  • Lift bay
  • Tyre bay
  • Engine bay work
  • Under-vehicle on lift

Condition cells filled

Mixed light
64%
Low light
41% — under-vehicle work with head torch
Cluttered
83% — the most cluttered cells we hold
Failure cases
31% — cross-threads, dropped fasteners, slips

Known failure modes

What goes wrong in this environment.

Published because you will find these in the data within an afternoon, and it is cheaper for both of us if you find them in this list first.

  • Under-vehicle capture is IR-hostile: painted and oily surfaces both absorb the projector pattern. Those episodes carry a depth-quality flag.
  • Licence plates and VIN plates are blurred at ingest without exception.

What ships with every clip

Ten streams, one clock, one episode file.

Not an à la carte menu. Every validated hour we deliver carries the whole stack, in the schema below, whether you asked for depth or not.

Data card

The card that ships with the batch.

Delivered as machine-readable JSON alongside the episodes, so provenance travels with the data instead of living in an email thread.

Flagged frames are shipped rather than silently dropped. You decide whether to mask, down-weight, or exclude them.

How this compares to No comparable public set.

Where a public set is genuinely better at something, we say so. Where the blocker is the license rather than the quality, we say that too.

License

There is no public egocentric automotive service corpus of any size. This environment exists because two buyers specified it, and it is the clearest case where a coverage program is the only route to the data.
