Test and Simulation

The virtual development platform is getting expanded use across nearly three dozen BMW Group factories worldwide, but the most significant automotive news from the developer conference is BYD’s planned use of Nvidia’s Drive Orin for a more standardized software platform in a broader range of vehicles.

Its ray-tracing capability transforms the realism of simulation, accelerating the development of autonomous vehicles and advanced driving assistance systems by accurately simulating the effects of blurring and rolling shutters.

At the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the team made up of autonomy-focused students and faculty from Politecnico di Milano in Italy and the University of Alabama, reached 180 mph—a new speed world record for the IAC on a racetrack, following its November victory at IAC competition in Texas.

Record SuperVision and future AV design wins in 2022 led to an expected $17 billion ADAS revenue pipeline through 2030 and its innovation roadmap includes key new technologies like imaging radar.

French engineering firm M3 Systems has developed a new tool for GNSS and multi-path simulation. The test bench is particularly well suited to testing assisted and autonomous driving applications.

The new advance helps Waymo determine weather conditions close to its autonomous vehicles to guide and improve performance.

As recent IIHS tests have proven, most automatic emergency braking systems can’t see at night, but Kobi Marenko, CEO of Arbe, writes for Inside Autonomous Vehicles that, for the automotive industry to move forward, consumers need to trust the technology powering autonomy.

AiMotive will operate as a subsidiary of Stellantis to preserve “its startup spirit,” and its technology is meant to supercharge the mid-term development of the automaker’s STLA AutoDrive autonomous driving platform.

In two new studies, Waymo found its autonomous vehicles consistently outperformed even the ideal version of a human driver.

A new artificial intelligence (AI) system can help autonomous vehicles (AVs) drive more safely and…
