If by automobile you mean a car that resulted from parts mutating, due to changes in environmental conditions, in each prior generation of models, and natural laws preserving those that allow a minimal threshold of beneficial function, and eliminating those that cause failure, then yes, it would be inappropriate to call the current product "designed by a generic intellect."
