See the Future of Cars: AI-Designed Concepts
▼ Summary
– Car production takes five years or longer, causing designs to become outdated before release.
– Car makers are interested in using AI to speed up parts of vehicle creation, such as model-making and wind-tunneling.
– Large language models (LLMs) could change transportation.
– The article promotes a podcast episode about AI car design and the Codex.
– The Verge offers subscribers ad-free access to the Vergecast podcast.
The vehicles currently rolling off assembly lines are already carrying yesterday’s thinking. From initial concept to final production, bringing a new car to life can stretch across five years or more, and in that time, consumer preferences, political climates, and fuel prices can shift dramatically. That’s a big reason why automakers are increasingly excited about AI’s potential to compress development timelines, accelerating everything from clay model sculpting to aerodynamic testing. With large language models entering the mix, the very way we design and build transportation could be on the verge of a major transformation.
