It's said that if monkeys hack long enough on a typewriter, than they will inexorably end up writing something that makes sense.
Let's see if this is also true for scientists...

Car fusion

It was shown that a mean human face (i.e. where all measures between and for facial features are the set to those corresponding to the average values of human populations) is beautiful. If one averages the 20 % of the most beautiful faces, then the average top20% beautiful face is perceived as being even more beautiful than just the average face. If one then calculates the vectorial distance between the 'average' and the 'top20% average' face, and uses the same vector to 'exaggerate' the top20% average, then the top20% + average face is even more beautiful than the top20% face. All this to say that one should use the same algorithm to conceive car profiles, and built the most beautiful vehicle of all - very simply. If that works for car profiles, then maybe other objects could be tackled, too.
