Valeo and Applied Intuition, a vehicle software supplier, have partnered to bring a digital twin platform for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) sensor simulation. The platform will provide original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with a digital database representing locations around the world, offering a diverse set of scenarios and environments for ADAS perception testing and validation.
Using the digital twins in Spectral, Applied Intuition's sensor simulation product, OEMs can create more accurate simulations. This allows OEMs to ensure the safety, performance, and reliability of critical algorithms and to develop production-ready ADAS perception systems at a faster rate.
"Valeo has always been at the forefront of automotive innovation, said Clement Nouvel, CTO of Valeo LiDAR. "Our partnership with Applied Intuition exemplifies our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible and how fast autonomous driving features can be brought to end-customers while improving safety. Together, we aim to redefine the future of LiDAR perception through digital twin technology."
The digital platform focuses on simulating Valeo's SCALA 3 LiDAR and expands to other Valeo sensors for software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
