The topic of highly automated driving is the focus of many automobile manufacturers’ development activities. Requirements such as 360° redundant surround view with numerous heterogeneous sensors, high-precision positioning or car connectivity are also challenging topics for tool suppliers. dSPACE offers an end-to-end tool chain for autonomous driving from a single source. Unique rapid prototyping solutions of high-performance platforms and a tailored software environment allow for the development of complete multisensor applications in the vehicle, from perception and fusion algorithms to real-time controls. The significant increase in testing efforts can be managed only by moving the tests forward to software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulatiion. PC clusters enable a high test throughput by means of greatly parallelizing computer nodes and simulations while maximizing scalability. For release tests, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation remains indispensable. With the dSPACE tool chain for development and testing, autonomous driving is becoming a reality faster.
