I know you're being facetious, but the process of modern car design is so fundamentally broken that you'll never make a meaningful impact as a single person working in the industry without a complete restructuring of the way we build cars. They're designed piecemeal by committee with input from so many different regulatory bodies that, even as a design lead, your project will pass through so many different hands that it's close to unrecognizable by the time the final mockups are being drawn up.
One of my old friends designed cars for GM and Ford in the 60s and 70s and he talks about how they would have 2-4 artists and an engineer in a room together drawing up a new car and bouncing ideas off each other until they came up with the final design. They would then personally walk over to the modeling department where they would work alongside the modelers until they were happy with the car. It's a lot easier to make a car that looks good when you have a small team of dedicated people working on it, rather than 200 different office drones with their own ideas and concerns that results in ugly cars with no cohesion.
