Automation (known as Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game in cover and online sources) is a simulation video game developed by New Zealand-based developer Camshaft Software for Microsoft Windows that allows the player to create and run a virtual car company and design vehicles to sell.

[2] The game, currently still in early access, allows for the design, creation, testing, and sale of various vehicle platforms and drivetrains.

The engine design component was released first in order to drive demand for pre-orders and fund the development of the rest of the game.

The previous version of the game, built-in Camshaft Software's own Kee Engine, is deprecated.

[7] Additions included balance shafts and harmonic dampers,[8] more turbocharger configurations, and the ability to engineer a better weight distribution into one's cars.
