Data pipeline – from recording to scenario resimulation
Our latest video is a huge deal, showing how our customers can develop their perception and automated driving SW in very fast iteration cycles using our re-simulation solution, which can automatically recreate real-world scenarios in simulation based on the auto-annotation of recorded data. Re-simulation is also unique in allowing customers to recreate any issues arising from real-road testing and explore the capabilities of their SW in a virtual closed-loop environment.
ISO9001:2015 – for the sixth time!
We're proud to have retained our ISO9001:2015 certification for the sixth time in our annual review – and to have also renewed our 14001:2015 and 27001:2015 certifications for the third and first time this year, respectively.
