How to Simulate Perception Systems to Reduce Physical Testing Effort: Leadership Insights from Ahmed Yousif at Valeo

How to Simulate Perception Systems to Reduce Physical Testing Effort: Leadership Insights from Ahmed Yousif, Simulation Product Owner, Valeo

Ahead of the Simulation, Testing & Validation for Automated Driving 2024 conference, Automotive IQ spoke with Ahmed Yousif, Simulation Product Owner at Valeo to learn more on the major challenges for automated driving, focusing on simulation, testing, validation, and homologation, as well as the differences between L2, L2+ and L3 of autonomy.

In this leadership insights piece, Ahmed presents and discusses:

- How simulation differs between the levels of autonomy

- Perception simulation testing of all sensor technology

- How simulating perception systems can reduce the physical testing effort for automated driving systems

- How simulation can be used to address corner cases in perception

- How perception simulation can help to expand the operational design domain towards L3 functionality

- How ADAS testing differs for Tier-1s and OEMs
