Pairing NVIDIA’s simulation tools with the Foretellix validation platform creates a solution that reduces development costs and helps AV makers get to market faster, and improve the safety of ADAS and AV.
The traditional approach to automotive testing, involving real-world driving of pre-production test vehicles, is a capital and time-intensive process which does not scale. With the increasing complexity of ADAS and AV systems, it is practically impossible to encounter the rare and dangerous scenarios needed for comprehensive autonomous vehicle validation & verification. However, this is precisely where the combined power of NVIDIA’s DRIVE Sim™, a virtual simulator, and Foretellix’s Foretify™ verification and validation platform can deliver a scalable and effective solution that can expose bugs, edge cases, and unknowns more efficiently and faster.
The combined solution is based on Foretify™’s ability to generate and orchestrate a massive number of meaningful tests. The tests are then propelled into DRIVE Sim™, where a physically realistic simulation of the test is conducted and challenges the instructions that the ADAS/AV stack provides to meet the situation in the tests. Foretify™ orchestrates the tests and is able to dynamically control them to ensure that the test is conducted as planned. The results of the tests, including KPIs, are sent back to Foretify™ for analysis and optimization, allowing development teams to run these tests regressions again until a safe, successful result is achieved.
