Biological engineering, or bioengineering, is a science-based discipline founded upon the biological sciences in the same way that chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering are grounded in chemistry, electricity and magnetism, and classical mechanics, respectively.

Generative ‘AI’ is presented as a quick and powerful shortcut for easy solutions to complex problems. Today’s and tomorrow’s auto interiors are brimming with complex problems. Consider seats: safety, comfort, ergonomics, design, and ecocircular construction all have to be achieved at the same time, within tight cost and manufacturability constraints.
