03:00 PM - 04:00 PM CET

In today’s fast-evolving automotive industry, Virtual ECUs (vECUs) are quickly becoming indispensable for teams seeking faster, more efficient software development and testing. From Model-in-the-Loop (MIL) to Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), and even higher-fidelity models (like L4 vECU), vECUs offer flexible ways to validate complex functionalities long before hardware is available.

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 the shifting landscape of automotive E/E architecture—highlighting how consolidation into fewer, more powerful systems can impact your choices for simulation and testing. You’ll also learn how to avoid common pitfalls in vECU implementation, including integration hurdles and performance bottlenecks.

Presented by an industry expert, the session will also include a concise look at how Vayavya’s services and solutions can complement your chosen toolchain—without locking you into any single platform. Whether you are aiming to reduce the overall time-to-market or are looking to streamline V&V, you’ll leave with a clear roadmap for integrating vECUs into your development process.
