AI-Core
Tools and services for AI-based validation, annotation, data analysis and scenario based approaches
With advancements and increasing complexity of driver assistance systems, the efforts required for testing, verification and validation also increases. Theoretically each function in the vehicle has to work without failure and finally translate into no accidents until the end-oflife of the vehicle. To ensure this, we need new testing methods.
Billions of kilometers have to be successfully test driven in the realworld before autonomous vehicles are validated and finally released. In practice, this often proves to be difficult, since there is an exponential increase in the E/E features and the frequency of software releases is higher than ever before. Covering all tests for each release is time- and cost-intensive. Further main challenges in the industry are frequently changing development, test and validation, Big Data, Real-world complexity and agility in development. AI-Core offers tools and services that allow customer to handle these challenges and make validation efficient and practical.
AI-Core can process large data and initially extract the ground truth from the existing real data. Valid driving scenarios are classified from the real data and extracted into a database and new test scenarios that focus on critical scenarios are generated.
Potential customer value
