AI accelerates car design as manufacturers seek shorter development cycles
automotive manufacturers are deploying ai to cut vehicle development cycles from five years down. journalists tim stevens and hayden field discuss the use of llms in design and wind-tunneling. the episode covers the rivalry between claude code and codex, plus microsoft and openai's terminated agi agreement.
Car manufacturers are integrating AI into design processes to reduce development cycles, which traditionally span five years. Tim Stevens explains that while companies claim AI assists rather than replaces humans, the technology increasingly influences model-making and wind-tunneling. Concurrently, the coding sector sees Claude Code competing with OpenAI's Codex, following Microsoft and OpenAI's dissolution of their AGI agreement.
