There's a YouTuber, Casey Putsch, who runs Genius Garage (offering on hands experience for students) and he's building an almost exact replica. In this video he tells how he's risking burnout and how it's kicking his butt to replicate the car.
There's also the sharpish edges of air intakes, or fake intakes, due to the association with race cars and fast motorcycles. Sometimes creases make intakes look more integrated in the body.
For a reason, well, people used to complain about contemporary (when that meant 90s) cars being blobby or ovoid. The survival of exotic car companies probably depended on being strikingly attractive and different from mainstream cars. I assume that when you say "hard lateral crease" you would agree that a late 90s Ford Taurus, or a Porsche 928 did not have one.
I think the air intakes are overdone these days and don't like fake ones any more than tailfins. There's something wrong when even the top of the line trim doesn't have all of the intakes functional.
The Jetsons look in the early 60's is also way cool.
I was really struck by the chassis of, for instance, 90s Ferraris, when I first saw a picture. They look so primitive, like something from the 60s or earlier, compared to a vehicle made by one of the big Japanese or American companies.
My impression is that until recently, the really prestigious brands that made super expensive cars were paradoxically impoverished themselves, so had to make severe tradeoffs in engineering and development. The only way to compensate was by racing and making beautiful sheet metal. I watched a Doug DeMuro video on an 80s Lamborghini and up close, it was just weird, almost like a kit car.
Nowadays, Ferrari is an expanding public company, and probably suppliers can give small car makers parts that are more on the level of the big companies.
I assume that Lamborghini no longer has to use Nissan headlights due to lack of resources to develop their own.
Note on this, Lamborghini is now owned by the Volkswagen/Audi Group, so while they don't use nissan parts any more, basically every component bears a VW or Audi logo
Its only in the relative recent past that Ferrari or Lamborghini created their own minor bits and pieces.
One thing that highlights for me was just how stylish prosaic Italian cars could be. Nobody would ever want to reuse a door handle from a Ford Fairmont for anything, but Alfetta door handles ended up on exotica.
You are hard pressed to guess which country modern cars are designed in, but it used to be easy to tell.
Under "Ferrari" it says "any model". Haha
I love how Ferrari has totally won the marketing game.
Maseratti, Porsche, and Lamborghini are good examples of companies that make supercars that also make some pretty pedestrian models. To make it worse, those are usually built on an existing car platform from another manufacturer. Not to say those cars are bad, they just don't belong at an exotic car meet.
The Masseratti Ghibli, the Porsche Macan/Cayenne and whatever the Lambo SUV is called all fit this mold.
A NN embedding (simplified) would be:
Input -> some Layers -> Final layer of size N -> Output
The trick here is to teach the NN to output the same as the input; so if the NN has to learn to emit what is on the input, it has to learn to extract intermediate representations that allow it to reconstruct the input; in this way, on the "final layer of size N" you have a representation of the input (otherwise you cannot obtain the output equal as input).
With that N you can now represent them in a N-dimensional space.
Imagine we have an input of size 20 but choose N=2 for that layer, then we train the NN, and we pass it a new sample, with that we have obtained a 2D representation of a 20D data.
Of course this approach has limitations and it's not going to have 100% acc in many cases, as by reducing dimension you may lose information too.
I hope the example is clear
Looks good. Reminds me of Prezi.
