Customer challenge

Without high-quality vehicle dynamics, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) simulations can be inaccurate, unreliable, and unrepresentative of the real world.
Developing accurate models takes time
Simulations must reflect the real world
Undetected problems can cause significant delays
