Why It's So Hard (and Expensive) to Make Cars

It is hard to build a car, and in this video, we dive deep into engineering topics rarely covered in automotive media. With the help of Lucid Engineers, we discussed simulation and advanced engineering tools used to design the Lucid Gravity. We explain NVH, Body structure, Crash Structures, and how a car is designed from the ground up. These tools and methodologies will be the basis for almost all car brands, from Tesla, Chevy, BMW, Honda, Porsche, Toyota, and more.
