Automotive design
is the profession involved in the development of the appearance, and to some extent the ergonomics, of motor vehicles or more specifically road vehicles. This most commonly refers to automobiles but also refers to motorcycles, trucks, buses, coaches, and vans. The functional design and development of a modern motor vehicle is typically done by a large team from many different disciplines included in automotive engineers. Automotive design in this context is primarily concerned with developing the visual appearance or aesthetics of the vehicle, though it is also involved in the creation of the product concept. Automotive design is practiced by designers who usually have an art background and a degree in industrial design or transportation design.

"To tell you the truth, he only ravished for a little while. Unfortunately, he didn't have the money to compete with the Big Three!!! Tucker was a man well ahead of the business. It was a shame that Tucker couldn't mass produce his car. The car was would of gone far because of all the safety and new innovations that he had used on the car. If you get the chance, watch the movie entitled "Tucker". It is an excellent movie. That might also help explain the story a little better!!!"
