The announcement means that it is the world’s first ISO26262 certified comprehensive automated driving simulator for the development of automated driving solutions.
The ISO 26262 standard is the automotive industry’s fundamental standard for functional safety, governing the development of all automotive systems. Within that, TCL 3 is the highest level of tool confidence, which is necessary for product development targeting ASIL D.
“By relying on our in-house developed simulation tool Aimotive has created a unique continuous integration – continuous delivery software development pipeline for safety critical automated driving software,” said Szabolcs Janky, Head of Product Management, aiSim at AImotive. “It is one of the few purpose-built simulators to handle the complexities of simulation for automated driving development.”
TCL 3 enables aiSim to be an integral part of a development and verification toolchain up to ASIL D, ensuring deterministic, realistic, and repeatable testing. Relying on certified tools, for example, helps developers overcome the whiplash effect, and discern whether a problem comes from the software or tooling.
