For autonomous driving to be developed further, validation must cover a huge amount of test scenarios, in other words several hundreds of millions of test kilometers. Accomplishing this with conventional tests on testbeds and the road would take many decades and is therefore not feasible. ADAS Competence Center in Graz, Austria, founded last year by AVL, offers a trend-setting solution: It combines a strikingly powerful simulation environment with cutting-edge evaluation and data analysis methods. Critical driving situations are identified, analyzed and evaluated in terms of function as well as perceived safety. Each week up to ten million autonomously driven test kilometers can be covered.
