Engineers, scientists and architects are constantly using inspiration from nature in their quest for innovation and with good reason. Why not cheat and get a couple billion year head start in your design process. On todays episode of B2B, we’re going to look at how nature inspires the auto industry to build not more eye pleasing cars, but better engineered ones. We're gonna see how butterflies helped to build a better catalytic converter, how mantis shrimps were studied to build stronger and lighter carbon fiber and how the sailfish helped McLaren go faster.
