CDN x Autodesk digital tools survey
Join the conversation on digital tools
Enter the survey and help shape the evolution of digital tools
Car Design News has partnered with Autodesk for a new industry survey which aims to shed some light on how digital tools are influencing the vehicle design process.
We want to understand how software is shaping your workflow, impacting your day-to-day time commitments and changing how you visualise projects with the advent of extended reality (XR) hardware. The findings promise to capture a clear industry perspective, offer actionable insights, and provide a deep dive analysis of how digital design tools are shaping the car design industry.
Your insights will help ensure that the technology evolves in ways that truly support creativity, not constrain it
By sharing your experience you will not only gain early access to the results but also enter a draw for one of three tickets to the Autodesk Automotive Innovation Forum on June 2-3 2026.
Autodesk and Car Design News invite a wide range of perspectives, from designers at OEMs and tier suppliers to independent creatives. Your engagement will help contribute to a well-rounded expert-led understanding of the digital design tools landscape.
“Digital tools are transforming the way car designers think, create, and collaborate: from concept sketching to full virtual reviews," says CDN editor-in-chief James McLachlan. "This survey is a chance for designers to share their real-world experiences and shape the next generation of digital and AI-powered tools. Your insights will help ensure that the technology evolves in ways that truly support creativity, not constrain it.”
