""We'll release a design surface, and then it can take days or weeks to get a full set of analysis back on the performance of that surface," says Bryan Styles, director of design innovation and technology operations at General Motors. "By that time, the design surface has changed, and then we're trying to understand, well, how do these results actually translate into the surface that we now have in design?""
""We are using it on our next products," says Rene Strauss, GM's director of virtual integration engineering. "So this isn't a vision of the future. This is happening right now.""
Aerodynamics play a crucial role in vehicle design, impacting fuel efficiency and electric vehicle range. Traditional aerodynamic analyses are slow, often taking days or weeks, which complicates design adjustments. Major car manufacturers, including GM and Jaguar Land Rover, are now utilizing artificial intelligence to expedite this process. GM has created a 'virtual wind tunnel' that leverages AI to analyze new designs based on previous aerodynamic data, allowing for immediate feedback in the design process. This innovation is currently being implemented in new products.
