Hello !

Would something like being able to scan my own car, and be able to submit that data to the game and have it to play with, be possible ? Like an APP in game prepared to read the data from a supposed scan?, i was thinking with a smartphone with an enough powerful camera

Too far from reality?

Thank you
 
Yeah sure 😅 they take 6 months to make any new car, they will surely offer all random plebs to submit their own car 😂
Its not like they are obligated to get it into the game, just have it there for -an eventual- actual inclusion of the car in-game
 
Technology and AI is improving fast, at some point AI will be able to fully or mostly automate the work involved in creating an accurate car mesh to a desired standard. But we aren't there yet, and even if we do get there, we'll never likely have a situation where we as consumers will be able to access an official built in feature or app that allow us to import a car into the game by scanning it from a camera or phone due to licensing issues.
 
I see possible in a future having to fill an form from PD where you specify your car specs, and send an scan made by the yourself. Then if they can license the car, they aldready have the scan prepared.
That's not happening because that's not how that works.

PD in all likelihood curates a list of vehicles they'd like to have, then sends the corresponding list to each manufacturer for approval. Manufacturer responds with stipulations; licensing fees, special rules about how the cars are treated in-game (likely why some OEMs are missing engine swaps and weight reduction) and other amendments and PD decides to okay or not. Then it's the matter of release schedules and actual modeling.

If you want your personal vehicle in a GT game... Honestly your best bet is purchasing whatever legally remains of a dead OEM that they might be interested in including & an example of the car you want added.
