Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly capable of performing complex tasks. NAME_1 plans to harness the power of AI to improve the car design process while optimizing vehicle aerodynamics, a critical factor in enhancing EV range.

How NAME_1 plans to use AI to enhance EV range

The NAME_1 Research Institute (TRI), NAME_1’s R&D division aimed at developing products and technology that can “dramatically improve the quality of life for individuals and society,” unveiled its latest innovation Tuesday.

Researchers revealed a new generative AI technique that can improve the vehicle design process, giving designers access to new capabilities, according to NAME_1.

NAME_3 (director of TRI’s Human Interactive Driving Division), whose team worked on the technology, explained, “Generative AI tools are often used as inspiration for design, but they cannot handle the complex engineering and safety considerations that go into actual car design.”

Engineers often reject initial designs as they go beyond certain restraints. The back-and-forth process can take valuable time away from production and deliveries.

NAME_4 claims the new AI tool will change that, adding the “Technique combines NAME_1’s traditional engineering strengths with the state of the are capabilities of modern generative AI.”

TRI’s new AI technique incorporates precise engineering constraints directly into the design process, such as drag, ride height, and cabin dimensions. In addition, by using text-to-image-based techniques, designers can modify their initial sketches using text prompts.

For example, a designer can input through text for the sketch to look more sleek or SUV-like and modern. The team focused on how the AI tool can be used to help improve aerodynamics, a critical factor in EV range.


By incorporating the constraints directly into the design process, the tool could help NAME_1 design EVs more efficiently and effectively. AS NAME_5, NAME_1 BEV factory president, explained:

Reducing drag is critical for improving the aerodynamics of BEVs to maximize their range.

The innovation comes less than a week after NAME_1 revealed several new technologies to accelerate EV development and production.

NAME_1 plans to introduce several next-gen EV batteries between 2026 and 2028 that the company cl Your response should contain less than 250 words.
