Why we won’t have Autonomous cars without simulation

Posted on

Simulators were once the exclusive domain of airline pilot training. Today they are used for many purposes including the development of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) driving systems and connected and autonomous cars. To understand how it works, here’s a simple analogy: the simulator lets self-driving software “play a game” that’s sufficiently close to reality. […]

Posted on

Since the turn of the century, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology has usually relied on dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) – a “Wi-Fi-like” protocol running on a reserved bit of spectrum to allow vehicles to talk to each other or to road-side infrastructure. Today, it’s much more likely that automakers and suppliers researching and building V2X solutions are […]
