IPG Automotive and Foretellix to Accelerate the Development and Deployment of ADAS and AD Systems

Foretellix and IPG Automotive are strengthening their cooperation to bring a comprehensive solution that will reduce development costs and time to market and increase the safety of automated driving systems.

IPG Automotive Foretellix

Combining Foretellix’s Foretify verification and validation platform with IPG Automotive’s virtual vehicle simulation environment CarMaker yields a solution that can be rapidly deployed by ADAS/AD development teams. The combined toolchain enables large-scale virtual testing to accelerate the development and deployment of ADAS/AD systems. In comparison to real-world testing, bugs and edge cases are discovered faster, reducing costs and time to market.

Foretify determines, generates, and optimizes the set of test scenarios needed to ensure test coverage for the user’s ADAS/AD stack. It orchestrates the execution of the scenarios and interfaces with CarMaker, which runs each of the tests in a highly realistic simulation environment. CarMaker provides the high-fidelity virtual vehicle, sensors, traffic objects and 3D environment. CarMaker can run significantly faster than real time with minimal resources in HPC environments. Deployment of the combined solution in the cloud provides flexible simulation options, enables agile software development methods and is readily integrated into CI/CT processes.
