Create the cars of your dreams and build a car business empire. Design vehicles that inspire awe and ignite the imagination, or build cars that keep the global economy running. In Automation, the possibilities are limited only by your creativity.

Automation is a car design simulation that features vehicles and technologies from 1946 to 2020. Use unique engine and vehicle design tools to create your perfect car, and then build and sell it to a car-hungry public in campaign mode. With just one click, export your creations to BeamNG.drive (sold separately) using the corresponding tool, and share them with others or personally test your cars on the road and track.

Bring Your Dreams to Life with Unique Car Design Tools

In Automation, players use extensive tools to design engines and vehicles, turning their ideas into reality. Shape, cut, modify, and adorn thousands of body designs with various headlights, moldings, and other details to achieve the desired style. Create the perfect engine for your car; whether it's a big, powerful V12 or a small, efficient inline three-cylinder—almost all common engine layouts are possible.

Test Your Business Skills by Selling Your Cars in Campaign Mode

Starting in 1946, the campaign mode allows players to test their design skills in an advanced automotive industry simulation. Build factories, equip them with necessary resources and equipment, and research cutting-edge technologies to transform your company into an industry titan while satisfying the needs and desires of dynamically modeled markets.

Export Your Cars to BeamNG.drive

Easily export your creations to BeamNG.drive (sold separately) using a user-friendly car exporter to take control of them, race, and crash them. Compare your lap times against the game’s AI and your friends in BeamNG.drive with a jointly developed test track that appears in both games, and share your creations in the BeamNG.drive mod repository.
