The two companies have developed a joint solution that combines Foretellix's Foretify and aiMotive's aiSim platforms to provide engineers with an end-to-end virtual solution, enabling verification and validation solutions of ADAS and AV perceptions and planning functions for trucks, commercial vehicles, and passenger vehicles.
At the solution’s heart is the native support of the recently approved ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.0.0 standard (OSC2). The standard uses a language and domain model for scenario-based testing and paves the way for large-scale generation and testing (million simulations/day) required for the safe deployment of ADAS and AV vehicles.
The joint solution allows product development teams to define abstract scenarios using OSC2 and use Foretify to then automatically generate millions of concrete scenarios that can be executed by aiSim in its purpose-built, GPU-based, and ISO26262 ASIL-D certified simulation engine.
The data from this massive simulation set is then gathered, analysed, and displayed on an advanced dashboard, allowing development teams to focus on bugs, edge cases, and unknowns. This inherently scalable validation solution will reduce development timelines by exposing software bugs faster than real-world testing.
"Foretellix and aiMotive share a common understanding that our customers expect to base their toolchain on open architectures and standards supporting the best-in-class tools. Our partnership will bring our joint customers a measurable and scalable simulation approach to validate ADAS and AV to ensure safety. Benefits will include substantial reductions in cost and accelerated time-to-market," said Udi Jacobi, VP of Global Sales and Business Development of Foretellix.
"End-to-end simulation is the only way to replace real-world testing with relevant virtual miles. As a result of our partnership with Foretellix, we can deliver the most comprehensive validation and verification solution that takes care of everything from large-scale, intelligent scenario variation to the very details of the real-time environment and sensor simulation, giving our customers a significant advantage over their competitors at every point of development," added Szabolcs Jánky, Product Director of aiSim.
