Degrees of the Sphere

How small is the automotive world?

Hollywood is said to be six degrees of separation. Our working hypothesis: the automotive world runs closer to three or four — designers who crossed brands, engines shared between rivals, lineages spanning half a century. This is the live measurement, recomputed from every story-rich connection in the graph. Hub links (a shared manufacturer, a shared theme) are deliberately excluded — a path should read like a story, not a coincidence.

The graph grows because people who care about the subject point us toward what's missing. If you know of a car, person, engine, event or era that should be in the Sphere — tell us. Tell us why it connects.

Suggestions go directly into our research queue. When the entity is published, we'll let you know if you left an email.
