Original Abstract Submitted

A method of producing a desired driving performance for a vehicle includes regulating a pressure inside a bladder, which defines an outer surface of the vehicle. A change in the bladder pressure changes the shape of the bladder, and thereby changes a shape of the outer surface of the vehicle, thus affecting the aerodynamics of the vehicle. The bladder pressure is regulated to be at a target bladder pressure based on the driving condition of the vehicle, which target bladder pressure can be derived from real-time machine learning or based on previous testing of a prototype of the vehicle, and thus affects aerodynamics of the vehicle so as to produce the desired driving performance for the vehicle in the driving condition.
