About this webinar

As the autonomous driving industry refocuses on consumer vehicles with improved ADAS, the goal is clear: improve value on consumer vehicles by extending ADAS features capabilities and ODD. This trend is coupled with a significant shift in vehicle architecture, moving from distributed systems reliant on smart sensors toward centralized software-defined vehicles. At the same time, regulatory demands such as Euro NCAP 2026 and NHTSA FMVSS 127 push for robust validation of safety-critical systems, requiring unprecedented performance levels.

 

What you will learn
