MIT engineers have created more than 8,000 electric vehicle (EV) designs that can be combined with artificial intelligence (AI) to quickly build cars in the future. Dubbed "DrivAerNet++," this open-source database includes designs that are based on the most common types of cars out right now, shown as 3D models that incorporate information such as how aerodynamic the design is.
The new database aims to speed up the search for better car designs exponentially. This digital library of car designs includes detailed data on specifications and aerodynamics. This digital library could be used to generate new electric car designs if combined with AI models in the future. By streamlining a lengthy process, manufacturers can develop EV designs faster than ever before.
