More to the point, there are people who carefully ensure that those angles are correct, and that all of the angles result in the car’s occupants arriving at their destination instead of turning into a ball of fire. It’s just that this process takes place at design time, not assembly time.

Software the same way. It’s even more automated than auto factories. Assembly is 100% automated. Design is what we get paid to do, and that requires understanding, just like the engineers at Ford need to understand how their cars work.

You're just not visionary enough to see the potential in vibe-CADing an automobile!

You joke, but there are plenty of companies working on something similar to this, for example: https://www.sw.siemens.com/en-US/technology/generative-desig...

I haven't touched CAD for a couple of years, but I get the impression that (inevitably) the generative design hype significantly exceeds the current capability.
