Summary

To support the left-shift in the development V cycle, the transfer of testing of advanced driver assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) scenarios from road to rig is essential to serve the demand for increased reproducibility, cost savings and reduction of time to market. 
To increase functional robustness and safety an increasing number of environmental sensors is de rigueur like a concerted use of camera, RADAR and LIDAR. Because of the importance of these sensors for safety and security it is necessary to test those on different stages according to state-of-the-art development processes. Until now there is a lack of methods for testing of ADAS/AD sensor embedded in the real vehicle. Current methods foresee the testing in real world and proving ground scenarios. This leads to non-reproducibility and higher costs for development.
