Title: Shift Left: Introduction to Vehicle Simulation in the Cloud
Short Description: OEMs today must deliver seamless, connected in-cabin experiences that meet growing customer expectations. Often, the only way to achieve increasingly compressed development schedules and higher demand for the simulation of myriad and complex test cases is to perform simulation via digital twins in the cloud, before production hardware becomes broadly available.
Description:
OEMs today must deliver seamless, connected in-cabin experiences that meet
growing customer expectations. Often, the only way to achieve increasingly
compressed development schedules and higher demand for the simulation of
myriad and complex test cases is to perform simulation via digital twins in the
cloud, before production hardware becomes broadly available. Cloud-based
vehicle simulation is transforming automotive development by enabling
scalable testing and high-fidelity digital twins. This evolution spans software
in-the-loop, virtual ECU emulation, and full system replication.
At the core of enabling meaningful cloud-based simulations is a software stack
that is both abstracted from hardware and portable across both cloud-based
and production hardware-based targets. This abstraction and portability is
enabled by industry standards such as Oasis’ VirtIO and COVESA VSS. Cloud
based hypervisors provide critical platform isolation, hardware abstraction,
and system-level security- enabling safe, parallel testing of complex
subsystems based on multiple guest operating systems.
Together, virtualization and widely recognized industry standards are
accelerating the shift toward continuous integration, reduced hardware
dependency, and faster time to market making cloud native simulation a
foundation for the future of software defined vehicles. This results in
significant cost savings for the OEMs throughout the vehicle program
development.
