ADAS/AD workflow evolution: advancements in data-driven software validation

Replacing the human driver promises more productivity, comfort, and safety but concerns persist over failure risks. This complex challenge requires testing against infinite scenarios where collaboration and a connected workflow are vital to progress toward higher levels of autonomy. In this session, we’ll focus on the importance of connecting test data and test methodologies through in-vehicle data record, replay, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing through low-latency direct injection.
