aiSim 5 represents a leap forward in automotive simulation technology, underpinning the complex validation processes needed for modern autonomous driving systems. Certified to ISO26262 ASIL-D, this simulator is designed to handle the demanding requirements of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving technologies. By utilizing AI-driven digital twin creation and sophisticated sensor modeling, aiSim ensures high fidelity in simulations, enabling developers to conduct virtual tests across diverse scenarios that replicate real-world conditions.
Featuring a physics-based rendering engine, aiSim allows for the precise simulation of varied environmental conditions like rain, fog, and sunshine, as well as complex sensor configurations. Its open architecture and modular design facilitate easy integration into existing development pipelines, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of testing and development frameworks. The simulator's deterministic simulation capabilities provide reliability and repeatability, which are crucial for validating safety-critical automotive functions.
The robust architecture of aiSim extends its utility beyond basic simulations, offering tools such as aiFab for scenario randomization, which helps in exposing edge cases that may not be encountered in typical testing environments. Moreover, its ability to produce synthetic data for training improves the robustness of ADAS systems. With aiSim, the development cycle shortens significantly, allowing automotive manufacturers to bring innovative products to market more efficiently.
