ANSYS Advantage - Volume XII, Issue 1, 2018
Spotlight on Autonomous Vehicles
Before they can be successfully launched onto real-world highways and into actual skies, autonomous vehicles must be exhaustively tested and certified for safe operation. But how can this rigorous testing take place for such complex products, while still meeting ambitious deadlines — and delivering a healthy profit margin? Engineering simulation is the answer.
