True. Was for the cars. The other part holds for airplanes. By the way, I know of at least one case where a cpu algorithm steered the team on optimizing the resistance of a plane wing (or whatever needs to be optimized there, it was a conversation over beers). Example was that they never could have thought of that improvement themselves. Basically you had to be very stupid to try it as it couldn't work, until a spinoff (one of the millions of automated tries) actually did. CPUs I have no knowledge of.
