Automotive Body Styles and Designs Part 2





    To design a car it usually takes about 3 years, sometimes less, and sometimes more. Also they start off with the sketching stage. Design is called problem solving because the designers can't just do what they want there is criteria they need to follow also they are given a set of engineering  constraints. Then they have to come up with something that fits the criteria and is pleasing. The feasibility stage is the largest part in the design process, they have to match the design and how it is and what it is to they practicality of the design. I think designing cars would interest me a bit because you get to actually design cars and I think that it would be a cool thing to do, to be able to design cars.
