This game looks great but with only two people working on it I don't hold to much hope for it sadly. Reminds me too much of a similar situation with Street Rod 3 which was being developed in part time in a similar fashion, sadly never made it. Best of luck.
I still play Detroit from time to time..

Sounds good but unfortunately the success of the car depends on if the AI likes it.

The AI and business side of things is being worked on, but we don't have much to show off on that side yet, we aim to make it as good as the car design side of things however

As far as I remember the car design bit of carbiz wasn't exactly easy on the eyes

I really do hope you prove me wrong, when it is released I will be a customer for sure and I hope you guys the best of success. I will spread the word to others I know would be interested.
Games like this have really been lacking severely since the old days, now days you have farming simulators, oil rig simulators, timber cutting simulator, bridge building simulator, bus and truck driving simulators and that's only the tip of the iceberg but nothing like this on the auto industry.

Quote from site:
"We know a lot of you are keen to get your hands on something playable, so here is an update on where we're at with releasing an Open Beta.
We want to get something playable out for you ASAP, and as the car designer isn't really ready for release yet and still needs a lot of polishing and tweaking this could take a while.
As such, we've decided we will go back to our original plan of releasing the engine designer first, as its very close to being complete.
Currently, we just need to finish tweaking some stats, impliment a few tutorial features, do a bit of general polishing work, and get a few licencing things sorted out and then the engine designer is ready to play.
Once all this is sorted out we will release the engine designer. Those of you who preordered through rockethub will be the first to receive it, and once everything is working well for them, we'll release it as an open beta for all to play.
Those of you who have preordered will also be able to build V8s (which should be in the beta a few weeks after we release it) whereas the open beta users will only have inline 4 engines to build.
This will be followed by a release of the car designer open beta, but this still requires quite a lot of work before it's ready to release.
Thanks for your patience as we work towards getting Automation finished!"

"Pre-order Automation now, and help us fund development. Pre-ordering will help us get Automation done faster and to a higher standard, you’ll also save $5 by preordering now instead of buying when its released.
Demos of the Engine Designer and Car Designer will be released before the final game. If you don’t preorder, you’ll be able to build Naturally Aspirated Inline 4 engines, and put them in Hatchbacks. If you do preorder, you’ll get access to each piece of content in the demo as we finish it (e.g V8s, Turbos, Sports Coupe Bodies, etc.)
The engine designer demo will be released fairly soon, followed by the car designer demo, the release date of the final game depends on many factors, and we are unable to commit to a specific date as yet, but the more successful our pre-orders are, the more money we can throw at the project and the quicker it will be done!"
