Each year more than a million people die on the road. Accidents cost $600 billion in harm from loss of life and injury, and another $277 billion in economic costs each year. The primary source of all this pain is human error —the cause of 94% of all traffic accidents in the U.S. Autonomous vehicles promise a solution. People the world over stand on the cusp of a new era in assisted and highly autonomous mobility and the pace of adoption is accelerating. Companies—established and new—are racing to capture the autonomous vehicle market opportunity and they know that their future success depends on the critical technology decisions they make today. Engineering teams are the key to unlocking this enormous potential. This e-book details the technical challenges they face, identifies simulation as a common best practice adopted by autonomy leaders to tackle these challenges, highlights the resulting benefits, and details the critical simulation capabilities required to realize them. |
