03:00 PM - 04:00 PM CET

The automotive industry is evolving fast, and Virtual ECUs (vECUs) are revolutionizing software development and testing. Whether you’re working with Model-in-the-Loop (MIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), or high-fidelity Level 4 vECUs, mastering virtual validation is crucial for staying ahead.

This webinar brings together industry insights and real-world examples to help you navigate the challenges of adopting and deploying vECUs in your ASPICE workflow. We'll discuss:

  • Automotive E/E Architecture Trends – The shift towards fewer, more powerful systems and what it means for simulation.
  • Why vECUs Are Essential – Understand their role in accelerating software validation before hardware is available.
  • Navigating ASPICE with vECUs – How to integrate vECUs into your development workflow for seamless compliance.
  • Real-World Case Studies – Industry insights and lessons from successful vECU deployments.
  • Avoiding Common Pitfalls – Tackle integration challenges, performance bottlenecks, and implementation hurdles.
  • The Vayavya Advantage – How our solutions support your toolchain—without vendor lock-in.
