The design of modern cars is typically handled by
a large team of designers and engineers from many different disciplines. As part
of the product development effort the team of designers will work closely with
teams of design engineers responsible for all aspects of the vehicle. These
engineering teams include: chassis, body and trim, powertrain, electrical and
production. The design team under the leadership of the design director will
typically comprise of an exterior designer, an interior designer (usually
referred to as stylists), and a colour and materials designer. A few other
designers will be involved in detail design of both exterior and interior. For
example, a designer might be tasked with designing the rear light clusters or
the steering wheel. The colour and materials designer will work closely with the
exterior and interior designers in developing exterior colour paints, interior
colours, fabrics, leathers, carpet, wood trim, and so on.
In 1924 the American national automobile market began reaching saturation. To
maintain unit sales, General Motors instituted annual model-year design changes
(also credited to Alfred Sloan) in order to convince car owners they needed a
replacement each year. Since 1935 automotive form has been driven more by
consumer expectations than engineering improvement.
There have been many efforts to innovate automobile design funded by the NHTSA,
including the work of the NavLab group at Carnegie Mellon University.[8] Recent
efforts include the highly publicized DARPA Grand Challenge race.[9]
Acceleration, braking, and measures of turning or agility vary widely between
different makes and models of automobile. The automotive publication industry
has developed around these performance measures as a way to quantify and qualify
the characteristics of a particular vehicle. See quarter mile and 0 to 60 mph.
