AI Designed Cars

Introduction

A U.S. hypecar startup called Czinger entrusted AI to complete the design and manufacturing of its products.

Manufacturing

AI is given specific guidelines in order to manufacture cars. It uses 3D printers with atomized and powdered metal to produce car parts, and the AI ensures that there is no waste. Manufacturing cells consisting of robotic arms are fully autonomous, and they use vertical assembly to construct cars. During the manufacturing process, AI oversees and looks for potential faults in the assembly machines.

Designing

AI seeks to design cars in the most efficient possible way. It can operate under fixed constraints and guidelines while optimizing time and waste in a way that humans can't. The American company Czinger used AI to design the car 21c. The AI could simultaneously take into account aerodynamics, weight, ease of manufacturing, and material costs without human error in order to design a car in minutes instead of weeks.
