Hyundai Mobis Develops Data-Driven Validation System to Dramatically Cut Testing Time for SDVs
Hyundai Mobis has created a validation system that can perform 10,000 hours of testing in just one week by linking real-world data with simulators.
- 10,000 hours per week
- 60 simulators
- Tens of thousands of hours
What Happened
Hyundai Mobis announced a new evaluation and validation system that connects data from real road tests with simulators to repeatedly test electronic control units (ECUs) for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The system can replicate difficult scenarios like nighttime driving, rain, and unexpected incidents by combining real-world and virtual data. The company plans to expand the platform to connect up to 60 simulators.
10,000 hours in one weekhours per week
Previously, tens of thousands of hours of testing required years of real-world driving.
“In the era of SDVs and autonomous driving, evaluation and validation are just as critical as technology development. We expect that establishing this evaluation and validation system will simultaneously expand the speed and scope of validation, thereby significantly boosting our competitiveness in securing orders for core SDV components.”
Why this matters
This speeds up development of software-defined vehicles and autonomous driving systems, allowing automakers to bring safer, more reliable technology to market faster.
