As automotive software becomes more sophisticated, extensive evaluation and validation to ensure the safety and performance of related products have emerged as critical processes, alongside global R&D competition in autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technologies. Global auto makers are increasingly requiring suppliers to provide large-scale, data-driven validation, often involving tens of thousands of hours of testing, before approving core components for use in software-defined vehicles (SDVs).

Hyundai Mobis has established a data integration management solution that it says significantly shortens this process, enabling the company to secure a competitive edge in the global market.

The evaluation and validation system can repeatedly test electronic control units (ECUs) for SDVs and autonomous driving by linking data from actual road tests with data management solutions and simulators to replicate various driving scenarios.

The new EQS features steer-by-wire technology that transforms the interaction between the driver and vehicle with “precise, intuitive and effortless steering”, Mercedes‑Benz said, and which will support automated steering and future autonomous functions. It is the first production vehicle from a German auto maker with this technology.

The new steering feel benefits driving dynamics, maneuvering and parking. With steer-by-wire, the steering effort required from the driver can be further reduced and the driver no longer needs to adjust their grip on the steering wheel when turning. Vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces, which were previously transmitted to the driver via the steering wheel, can now be eliminated.

AVL Mobility Technologies and Ansible Motion have partnered to offer vehicle manufacturers and suppliers a combined solution integrating AVL’s VSM software with Ansible Motion’s driver-in-the-loop simulators. The collaboration aims to support virtual development processes by enabling faster component and vehicle development, while reducing testing and validation time and associated costs.

AVL VSM is a flexible, real-time simulation tool that enables users to model components, systems and complete vehicles. It allows them to test vehicle dynamics and performance in realistic scenarios, which is crucial for optimizing vehicle characteristics and ensuring safety. VSM enables a more integrated approach to vehicle design and optimization by allowing simultaneous consideration of various vehicle attributes and components and how they interact.

dSPACE and MathWorks have expanded their partnership to streamline traffic simulation using open standards. Developers of autonomous driving applications can now use road models created in RoadRunner directly in ASM OpenX, the latest generation of dSPACE traffic models, improving efficiency and reducing development time.

“By combining the ASM OpenX with RoadRunner as a powerful road editor, we enable our customers to simulate traffic scenarios much more efficiently and cost-effectively on a wide variety of road models and thus in a very broad range of operational design domains (ODDs),” said Thorsten Püschl, product manager at dSPACE. “In close coordination with MathWorks, we have created a seamless and practical solution.”

ASM OpenX is the latest generation of dSPACE traffic models, built natively on the OpenScenario and OpenDrive standards.

WeRide has launched WeRide Genesis, its proprietary general-purpose simulation model that bridges physical AI and generative AI, connecting the real and simulated worlds to accelerate the development, training and validation of autonomous vehicles at scale.

Leveraging generative AI, WeRide Genesis can rapidly generate highly realistic virtual worlds, building simulated cities within minutes and accurately reproducing rare, extreme real-world driving scenarios that are difficult to capture on actual roads. This enables AVs to undergo large-scale training and validation in simulation. Insights generated are continuously fed back into real-world operations, significantly enhancing AV performance in complex scenarios, speeding up iteration cycles and reducing time and cost compared with traditional road testing.
