Intelligent Data Platforms & Scalable Analytics
Our expert panel explores some ‘big picture’ themes around the 2030 physical-virtual testing roadmap in vehicle development.
- Practical horizon: Is there an optimal balance to target between virtual and physical development?
- Vehicle validation challenges: Overview of the genuine economic, technical and timeline challenges that the scientific community and the automotive industry might deal with through physical-virtual testing towards 2030?
- Increasing complexity: How to navigate the increasing complexity of on board systems in the autonomous driving era
- Standards: should the creation of standards also apply to virtual developments?
- Vehicle dynamics performance: what are the challenge/new bottlenecks in the development timeline once vehicle dynamics are fully virtualized on low grip conditions from Day 1 of the project?
