Modern borescopes, also called a videoscope as it uses an image sensor, are driving efficiency and improving research in the automotive industry.

One example is at the Institute for Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (IAAPS), where engineers are using specialized borescope equipment from Olympus to perform visual inspections of internal combustion engines (ICEs) and other powertrain subsystems as part of their research and testing projects.
