If I go with what you're saying about simulations, it means the LF-A really isn't innovative nor pioneering either because they used simulations on the car too, what a concept!!!..
There's a HUGE difference between knowing what will say keep X 500 HP engine cool and running simulations to see how to keep the Veyron 1000 HP engine cool (hint it's not just doubling everything) and inventing stuff from scratch (no previous process to run simulations from as a starting point........) Yes a lot of stuff will still be done on computers but it will be the first time it's done.
LOL, but if i really analyze that comment, it sounds like to me, you think that there is a big green button that the Veyron engineers used. They push that big green button and "poof", viola, they now have a W16 quad turbo AWD 1000hp designed and ready for production which they're going to sell at a MAJOR loss for fun because it was super easy to design since there was nothing innovative about it, and since it was simulated on a computer. but... it was really about integration so it's really not innovative because of that reason.
Your lack of knowledge when it comes to engineering is truly amazing......
I'm just slamming the LF-A in this thread because you put it up way too high on your pedestal and proceed to bash other impressive vehicles because they weren't engineered or manufactured by Toyota.
Incorrect yet again, we are putting it where it belongs because people like you keep putting it down well below where it deserves to be, nobody on this thread has said the car is perfect, the best ever, god's gift to the automotive world, etc. etc.
Somehow with your delusional deduction, which has already been confirmed, because you've previously stated several times already... from inference, is that a non-Toyota vehicle, no matter the engineering feat, engineering design problem they have overcome, is not innovative, is not pioneering and not leading the pack. That to me is a definition of a Troll. LOL.
It's comments like this that give you away as everyone here knows how much I like Porsches, Z06/ZR1's, Vipers, NSX's, FD's, Ferraris, Lambos, FGT's, MF1's and the list goes on and on and on.
If Toyota designs a light bulb, you'd be touting that they invented and innovated it, LOL... Get real, you crack me up.
You got that backwards, if Toyota invented the next 1000 things to be invented in the world you would find fault with it and call it crap. Then you would say, well they should have invented the last 1,000,000,000,000 things and then I would be impressed. It's the troll in you, it's in your nature.
BTW, if you are really an engineer, you'd know that mathematical equations have always been around and is used as a tool. That's what REAL engineers use, that's why they use simulations to speed up the process in their design. That's how you do it during the R&D phase and that's never going to change. It looks like you are 110% blowing smoke up everyone's ass because you don't understand what innovation and engineering IS. A tool like that is used to solve engineering problems quickly and easily which saves costs and time in order to get the product to market faster and that is Innovation in itself.
You really are DENSE, computer simulatorS USE MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS TO PERFORM THEIR TASKS. Do you see how stupid you keep looking? Before computers it was much more dificult to "predict" how integrating differenct systems would affect "the whole", this is where computer simulators come in.
