As automotive software becomes more sophisticated, extensive evaluation and validation to ensure the safety and performance of related products have emerged as critical processes, alongside global R&D competition in autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technologies. Global automakers are requiring suppliers to provide data-based validation results spanning tens of thousands of hours before adopting various core auto components for software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
Meeting such demands for tens of thousands of hours of data validation typically requires test vehicles to undergo years of test driving in real-world conditions. Hyundai Mobis said it has established a data integration management solution that shortens this process and helps the company compete more effectively in the global market.
Hyundai Mobis announced it has established an evaluation and validation system capable of repeatedly testing electronic control units (ECUs) for SDVs and autonomous driving. The approach links data obtained from actual road tests with data management solutions and simulators designed to replicate various driving scenarios.
The system is designed to reduce evaluation and validation time by automating data management and integrating it with simulators. It connects multiple simulators in parallel to reflect different validation scenarios.
Hyundai Mobis said the platform can be expanded to connect up to 60 simulators in the future. The company expects this scaling to enable 10,000 hours of evaluation and validation in just one week.
The system is based on data collected under various conditions in real-world driving and parking environments using sensors mounted on test vehicles. Hyundai Mobis highlighted the ability to replicate scenarios that are difficult to reproduce in reality—such as nighttime driving, rainy conditions, and unexpected incidents—by integrating real-world data with simulations in a virtual environment.
By combining real-world and virtual data in an “optimal ratio,” the company expects to comprehensively evaluate recognition performance and stability for autonomous driving and ADAS systems.
Hyundai Mobis plans to use the system to comprehensively validate the performance and reliability of algorithms for autonomous driving sensors, including radar, cameras, LiDAR, and ultrasonic sensors, as well as various ECUs.
The company said that establishing a one-stop evaluation and validation capability for large-scale sensor data is intended to strengthen its technological competitiveness for SDV advancement and support more aggressive global order acquisition activities.
“In the era of SDVs and autonomous driving, evaluation and validation are just as critical as technology development. We expect that establishing this evaluation and validation system will simultaneously expand the speed and scope of validation, thereby significantly boosting our competitiveness in securing orders for core SDV components,” said Ko Bongchul, Chief of Automotive Electronics R&D at Hyundai Mobis.
Hyundai Mobis said it plans to continuously enhance the system through data integration and collaboration with major global research hubs.
Hyundai Mobis is the global no. 6 automotive supplier, headquartered in Seoul, Korea. The company has expertise in sensors, sensor fusion in ECUs, and software development for safety control. Its product portfolio includes components for electrification, brakes, chassis and suspension, steering, airbags, lighting, and automotive electronics.
Hyundai Mobis operates its R&D headquarters in Korea and has four technology centers in the United States, Germany, China, and India.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
