In the automotive industry, the development and approval of highly automated vehicles requires reliable simulations for virtual testing purposes. Similar trends can be seen in other areas, where regulators are essentially making specific demands on models and simulations that must be met. These new framework conditions put #modelling and #simulation in a new position and setting ⇨ and therefore require new ways of performing and handling simulations!   Get tickets and learn more at https://lnkd.in/druNRqK3 Virtual Vehicle Research GmbH   #software-defined #automotive #virtualization #automated #graz

Great news from our collaboration with AVL Deutschland GmbH in the area of virtual development of automated driving 🤝 Last week, our colleague Oussama Mlayeh and AVL's Max Nestoriuc presented our collaboration in a joint paper at this years FKFS Stuttgart International Symposium. How to reduce the "time-to-map" and possibilities to include real-world data based simulation runs earlier in the V&V process was their topic. Feel free to contact us in case of interest, questions etc. #automateddriving #simulation #adas #hdmaps #digitaltwin #verification

We were proud that our colleague Christoph Glasmacher gave a presentation on ‘Using Scenarios for Data-Driven Assessment of Automated Driving Systems’ at the Aachen Colloquium! The presentation shows how multiple European projects deals with aspects of the question on how to come from data to an assessment of a driving function. He gave an overview over recent projects such as iEXODDUS, SYNERGIES and V4SAFETY project presenting challenges and solutions to parts of this question. iEXODDUS deals with the recording of driving data, SYNERGIES with scenario databases and V4SAFETY with a framework for prospective safety assessment based on scenarios.

🚨 Breaking Learning Codes in Cars 🚨 At DEFCON 32, Danilo Erazo presented a talk on learning codes that demonstrated the vulnerabilities affecting current and future vehicles. Learning codes are used in automated car assembly lines to program and configure vehicle systems. 🔍 Key Findings: -Discovery: Danilo found that learning codes for various vehicles were publicly accessible online, posing a significant security risk. -Exploitation: With these codes, an attacker could potentially reprogram vehicle systems, leading to unauthorized access or even remote control. -Brute Force Vulnerability: The tested receiver remained functional after a 16-hour brute force attack, which was neither detected nor stopped. -Backdoor Risks: The system is susceptible to backdoors, allowing malicious actors to insert unauthorized code at any point during or after the production process. -Collision Attack: Many IC learning code chips use only 2^20 bits (just 1,048,576 combinations), increasing the risk that a key fob could unlock multiple cars. With thousands of cars using these codes globally, the risk of a collision is high, potentially leading to a situation where a remote control could open more than one car. -Real-World Impact: Danilo demonstrated how he reprogrammed a vehicle's ECU using the discovered codes, showcasing the tangible threat to vehicle security. -Implications for Manufacturers: The research highlights the urgent need for manufacturers to secure these codes and enforce strict access controls. 🚨 Who’s Affected? -Vehicle Manufacturers -Supply Chain Partners -Car Owners Stay up to date on all the latest findings in automotive cybersecurity. Reach out to us about our proprietary threat intelligence feed dedicated to the automotive industry at vultara.com/contact Danilo's research is a wake-up call for the automotive industry. It’s crucial that we enhance our cybersecurity measures to safeguard against such vulnerabilities.

#SOFTWARE: EU stakeholders and AVL partner for safer and quicker development of SDVs Under the leadership of mobility technology company AVL, key players in the automotive, supplier and #semiconductor industries, along with research institutions, have united to propel the advancement of #softwaredefinedvehicles (SDVs). In a collaborative effort dubbed FEDERATE, or the Chips JU Framework, the #EuropeanUnion is orchestrating this convergence. Partners from seven countries, including VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH, Infineon Technologies and the Technical University of Munich, are actively involved. Gereon Meyer, head of European and international business development at VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik, said, "A coordinated approach is required for maximum safety, efficiency and reliability. The FEDERATE project plays an important coordinating role here." Peter Priller, principal technology scout at AVL, said, "The new approach makes it possible to continuously improve safety and comfort in the vehicle through software updates and enhancements." Georg List, vice president of corporate strategy at AVL, concluded, "We are proud of the trust the EU and the industry have in AVL to lead FEDERATE."

The Automated Vehicle Safety Consortium (AVSC), a program of SAE International Industry Technologies Consortia (SAE ITC), has launched the AVSC Best Practice for Core Automated Vehicle Safety Information. "This best practice represents a step towards standardizing communication of safety information for AVs in a way that is clear, consistent, and easily understood by all stakeholders," said AVSC Director Darcyne Foldenauer. As described by the AVSC, this best practice outlines how safety is continuous and connected throughout lifecycle stages and highlights considerations when including safety metrics as part of the communicated information. It lists topics that are considered core, provides a rationale, illustrative examples where applicable, suggestions of content that could be included for the example, and lists references and industry examples for further information. "By following this best practice, #AV safety information can be shared in a clear, consistent, and explainable manner," the organization said. See More via the Link in the Comments 👇

🚗 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗫 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹! 🚗 We're thrilled to share our latest video, where we dive deep into the objectification of vehicle functions using our evaluation and targeting software, MXeval. 🌟 Senior Engineer in Vehicle Dynamics and ADAS/AD Matthias Niegl and Solution Egnineer Tristan Schwandke, OLY showcase how effortlessly we capture objective measurement data during test drives and generate results directly in the vehicle. As part of our collaboration with auto motor und sport, our engineers benchmarked three driver assistance functions (LKAS, ACC, and PMA) across four different vehicles. Our demo features the lane departure warning system in action. We conduct a maneuver for on-center steering feel, known as the Weave Test, where the system actively intervenes by applying counter-torque to the driver's steering input. Using the method developed by the IFM - Institut für Fahrerassistenz und vernetzte Mobilität, we can characterize and objectify the driving maneuver. The evaluation, including the results, is performed directly in the vehicle after the measurement. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: ➡️ MXeval provides a complete, live evaluation of measurement data right in the vehicle. ➡️ The quality of the measurement data obtained and the functional performance can be assessed immediately. ➡️ Measurement errors or other discrepancies are detected immediately after each test. ➡️ The maneuver catalogs for automated evaluation, including KPIs, are already stored in MXeval. Check out our video to see #MXeval in action and learn more about our innovative approach! 🚀 #DriverAssistance #VehicleTesting #ADAS #AD #SteeringFeel
