Automotive design is the process of creating the appearance and functionality of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles. This field combines art and engineering to develop vehicles that are not only visually appealing but also safe and efficient. Designers consider factors like aerodynamics, materials, and user experience while working on a vehicle's exterior and interior. The automotive design process typically involves several stages, including sketching, 3D modeling, and prototyping. Designers often collaborate with engineers and manufacturers to ensure that their concepts can be produced effectively. Notable figures in this field include Giugiaro and Pininfarina, who have significantly influenced automotive aesthetics.
