In the rapidly evolving world of automotive development, virtual validation is key, especially for testing and validating driver assistance systems and connected driving functions. Porsche Engineering is at the forefront, using an advanced end-to-end toolchain to create precise scenes and track models for customers—going far beyond what conventional map data can offer. Before the new Porsche Cayenne's launch last April, its prototype covered four million test kilometers in real conditions. However, virtual testing played an even larger role, with over 1,000 virtual kilometers driven for every real kilometer. Digital twins of vehicles undergo rigorous virtual testing in simulated environments, tackling scenarios too rare or dangerous to test in real life. This meticulous process is crucial for validating advanced driver assistance systems and automated driving functions, ensuring safety and reliability in 'corner cases' that push the boundaries of real-world testing. #Porsche #PorscheCentarZagreb #PorscheCars

Dynisma states its simulators could save US$10m per development program Simon Holloway, commercial director, said, “Testing in the real world is a vital part of the new vehicle development process, but it is time-consuming, costly and has a significant environmental impact for an automotive OEM. #Dynisma’s #DMG simulators allow car makers to increase the amount of virtual testing – without any compromise for development drivers or engineers – delaying the point at which a physical prototype is required, potentially bringing double-digit million-dollar savings as fewer actual test vehicles are needed."

F1 to road car engineering. The car industry is now radically redesigning every car. The roll-out of battery electric vehicles is changing the fundamental design of vehicles. Using simulators, engineers can experiment with new solutions quickly and cheaply. #EV #simulation #digitaltwin https://lnkd.in/eJunCd-H

Audi Quattro redefined the driving experience by introducing the world to all-wheel drive technology in a production car. Launched in 1980, it was a game-changer, providing unmatched grip and stability, especially in challenging conditions. The Quattro system continuously adapts power distribution to all four wheels, ensuring optimal traction and control. This pioneering tech didn't just revolutionize rally racing, where Audi dominated, but also set a new standard for performance vehicles. Today, the Quattro legacy continues to inspire with innovations that push the boundaries of automotive engineering. #AudiQuattro #AllWheelDrive #Innovation #AutomotiveEngineering #QuattroLegacy #Performance
