General Motors Is Cutting Its Development Cycles in Half

# General Motors Is Racing to Build Cars Faster Using AI General Motors is cutting the time it takes to design and build a new car in half by using AI and computer simulations instead of traditional physical prototypes and testing—a strategy it needs to compete with Chinese EV makers like BYD that are getting new models to market in just two years. The automaker hired Sterling Anderson, a former Tesla executive, to overhaul how GM develops everything from car designs to batteries and self-driving systems. Essentially, GM is trying to move faster by letting computers and AI do more of the heavy lifting before anything gets built in the real world.
