The Cognitive Revolution · Wednesday, July 1, 2026
Thomas Von Schamer, co-founder of Neural Concept, discussed how AI is revolutionizing automotive design. Traditional methods involving physical prototypes and lengthy computer simulations are being replaced by AI models that can provide results in minutes, allowing for the testing of thousands of designs per day. This accelerates product cycles and enables greater innovation.
“Now, using AI, we're seeing that that third revolution, right, from prototype to CAD, to AI, where AI solutions, to AI, where thanks to AI, you don't get results in days, but you get them in minutes.”
“And if you don't get results in minutes, it means that you don't explore 50 designs a year, maybe 100 designs a year, but now thousands of different options.”
“Which drastically accelerates your development cycles.”
