MIT Built an Open-Source Database of 8,000 Cars to Give Designers a Head Start

Engineers created thousands of different car bodies to train AI tools to make cars more aerodynamic, and speed up car design.

MIT creates massive 3D car design dataset to build the vehicles of the future

Designing cars is a long, costly process. Automakers spend years testing and tweaking car designs, especially to improve aerodynamics, which affects fuel efficiency and the range of electric vehicles (EVs). However, these tests are often private, and breakthroughs happen slowly across the industry. MIT engineers have found a way to speed things up dramatically using […] The post MIT creates massive 3D car design dataset to build the vehicles of …

Design the Car of Tomorrow with MIT's Open-Source Dataset Design the Car of Tomorrow with MIT's Open-Source Dataset

Design the Car of Tomorrow with MIT’s Open-Source Dataset In the fast-paced world of automotive engineering, car design is traditionally a meticulous and guarded process. Manufacturers invest years refining designs, conducting exhaustive simulations, and performing physical tests to achieve the perfect balance of aesthetics, functionality, and performance. Yet, these efforts often remain behind closed doors, slowing down the global pursuit of in…
