This source covers the design of a composite panel for high volume production in the automotive industry
both of the authors work at FCA or fiat/Chrysler of America, which is a huge automotive company
I chose this source because it speaks about the way one would design a panel for high volume, which would be needed in order for widespread use
this article is three years old, so a lot of the material is very much still relevant
i found this article on academic search complete, through osu libraries

this source covers why one would chose carbon fiber over other materials when building a car
the authors are engineers who research carbon fiber and are knowledgeable when it comes to writing about its properties
i chose this source because it helps make a case on why carbon fiber would be a better material than steel or aluminum
the article is only six years old and the properties of carbon fiber have not changed since then.

this was chosen because it speaks of how carbon fiber can be repaired and/or when it should be replaced
this author is credible because he has written numerous articles on various applications of carbon fiber in the automotive industry
i chose this, because it helps support the argument that carbon fiber can be repaired, rather than needing to be completely replaced after a crash or other damage
this article is only six years old and the process for repairing carbon fiber has not changed since then
