Startup Uses Autodesk to Design a Car with AI Assistance

This car was designed by a computer, inside a virtual environment. A startup called Hack Rod used Nvidia GPU technology and Autodesk software to use AI to design a car. Autodesk's Dreamcatcher let them use "generative design," in which the computer iterates on ideas that the designers input. In this case, Hack Rod wanted to create an optimized hot rod, and used Autodesk Flow Analysis to perform aerodynamic testing and quickly iterate many chassis designs. The software replicated sensors that could give feedback on how the design would perform under pressure, running several digital test drives.
