Can I use AI-generated vehicle illustrations based on real car models in my App Store app?
Hello,
I am developing a mobile application focused on vehicle information, maintenance tracking, fuel consumption, workshops, and vehicle comparisons.
The app includes a vehicle catalog where users can browse different makes and models. Instead of using official manufacturer photos, I plan to use custom illustrations generated by AI that are inspired by real vehicles (for example, a Mazda 2, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, etc.).
The illustrations:
- Are generated by AI.
- Do not contain manufacturer logos.
- Do not use official marketing images.
- Are used only to visually represent the vehicle model.
- May resemble the real vehicle's exterior design.
My question is:
Would this approach generally comply with App Store Review Guidelines, assuming I have the rights to use the generated illustrations and they do not contain copyrighted photos or manufacturer trademarks?
Has anyone successfully published a similar vehicle catalog or automotive application using custom illustrations instead of official manufacturer images?
Thank you.
