Over time, automobile designs have converged. We saw more diverse designs in the past. Why? There are only so many solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations that are passably aerodynamic. So the selection pressure has become more uniform. So argues Geoff West in Scale.

More true the higher the speed, esp if other variables don’t grow as fast, like power. So it’s selection pressure with higher speed. In general true of many stressors when they enter asymmetrically dominant regimes. Slow-swimming fish, flightless birds come in many more shapes.
