Did you create this ad? How are you so certain that this could only be computer generated? I recently read an article where a photographer was invited with other photographers to shoot a new model of car for an auto manufacture. He showed up with his Olympus E-M1 mrII while all the others had their Canons and Nikons. He showed how he did the shots and did an overhead shot on the streets where they were at night. He indicated because how he shot it, it could not have been done with a larger camera since it was hard enough getting the shot even with his smaller Olympus. That photograph was used for the lead ad for the auto manufacture. Since that article was earlier this year, and the E-M1 mrII has only been out since late last year, does that mean that all car advertising photography has ceased in the last half year? Yes, there are lots of ads that are just computer generated and have never seen a camera. But there are still companies out there that still want an actual photographer to help generate their ad.
Since this is mainly a photography forum, we should treat it like a photo shoot. The a best detailed answer was given by DJO while a few of us gave shorter versions. Although this particular image might have been computer generated, I for one think that it was shot with an actual camera for the same reason that DJO pointed out: "part of the image has become randomly uniform". Although very large computers with very expensive software can emulate that now, this does not appear to be computer generated.

No I've just been in the industry for almost 40 years and know how things are done. if you bothered to read my full post you would have seen that I also replied if you wanted to replicate this photographically several gave good starting points.
