    Description

    What if 3 kids in a garage wanted to start a car company? Is it possible? We believe so. And we're documenting the first research project that will prove it. Visit the Hackrod Pit Stop to get a behind the scenes look at the team, workflow and process to create the first car in history designed and engineered using cloud-based AI, and exported with the full potential of Advanced Manufacturing.  A real-world example of the intersection between the Internet of Things, Machine Learning and Digital Manufacturing. 

    Hackrod Defined: AN INFINITELY HACKABLE HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE, MADE POSSIBLE BY ADVANCED MANUFACTURING, DIGITAL DESIGN, AND CROWD COLLABORATION. THE HOT ROD FOR THE 21ST CENTURY.
