Presentation

Incorporating comprehensive testing systems into development programmes avoids unpleasant surprises

Testing of new automotive sensors is usually left until the end of the design process, but the increasing complexity of sensors and the development of sensor fusion software demands a shift to continuous testing and feedback. Doing this will shorten time to market, save money in expensive road testing and ultimately deliver a product that exceeds your engineering use case. In this presentation Raphael will explain why the only way to address these challenges is through a new approach to vehicle electronics with a design programme of continuous lab testing integrated into the development programme.
