Horsepower to Compute Power
The increased digital architecture requirements of vehicles are forcing a shift in focus and expertise with horsepower being replaced in favour of compute power and robust software design. Connected vehicles are the next evolution in automotive technology and even autonomous vehicles becoming increasingly commonplace. It is likely that autonomous cars will replace drivers in the not-too-distant future.
But, in order for autonomous vehicles to be safely deployed and truly live up to their potential, manufacturers and other industry players must ensure that they have a modern testing solution to address the myriad new challenges that arise. Given the wide array of platforms and the intricacies of connectivity testing, this is no easy task—but it’s made significantly simpler with Eggplant. We can test any technology on any platform, and also test autonomous vehicles’ ability to communicate with other nearby cars and infrastructure. In this way, we’re paving the path for continued innovation in the automotive sector and helping companies realize the promise of our connected future.
To truly test the next automotive vehicle experience, forward-thinking companies are exploring ways to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) — not just to the self-driving capability but to the technology testing the in-vehicle systems.
