The automotive industry is under enormous time and competitive pressure: electrification, software-defined vehicles and, in particular, the rapid pace of development among Chinese manufacturers (‘China Speed’) are drastically shortening innovation cycles. Traditional, linear development processes are no longer sufficient to remain competitive.

The article shows that AI agents are becoming a decisive lever here. As digital colleagues, they take on repetitive engineering tasks such as CAD analyses, simulations, variant studies or documentation – automated, around the clock and across teams. Processes that used to take days or weeks now take minutes. Engineering teams gain time for what really matters: innovation.

Synera pursues a clear approach: the AI agents orchestrate existing engineering tools in a manufacturer-independent and deterministic manner. They do not deliver ‘hallucinated’ results like classic LLM co-pilots, but control proven workflows and solvers in a reliable and traceable manner. As a link in the engineering stack, Synera enables true end-to-end automation without additional programming.

The results are shorter development cycles, lower costs, a cultural shift in engineering and greater innovation capacity. Practical experience shows that this approach works: five of the ten largest automotive manufacturers worldwide already rely on Synera to accelerate their development processes in a future-proof manner.
