    Probably some engineers to make a new vehicle platform-

    Then instead of multiple teams turning the platform into multiple vehicles with multiple trim levels, you’ll have a single team that makes one vehicle or a few different classes of vehicle on a platform then the ‘AI’ does the rest.

    To use VW as an example-

    • One senior engineering team at VW or Porsche designs the platform (ie. MQB)

    • One or few junior engineering team(s) at VW designs vehicles (ie. VW Golf, Jetta, Tiguan)

    • A few specialty vehicles get all-human treatment (ie. 911)

    • A marketing team at Audi, Skoda, etc will design their generational design language

    • The rest is ‘AI’ generated from the platform, vehicle type and desired design language.

    Stripping VW Group of multiple engineering teams, mostly outside Germany.
