Traditional v alidation methods\, such as road testing and closed-course evaluations are often too slow\, costly\, and limited in coverage to keep pace with moder n development demands. To validate today’s highly complex\, machine lear ning–driven software architectures\, simulation has evolved from a testi ng tool into a core development platform.\n\nIn this talk\, the invited sp eaker Mr. Shuhan Yang will explore how simulation can be architected and a pplied to accelerate the design\, validation\, and deployment of advanced driver-assistance and autonomous technologies. Drawing from experience acr oss multiple AV platforms\, he’ll walk through key types of simulation —from perception sensor modeling to behavioral and decision-making valid ation—and offer practical guidance on integrating simulation into the pr oduct development lifecycle. He will also highlight current limitations an d challenges that engineers should be aware of.\n\nFinally\, the talk will cover how simulation boosts confidence across development stages\, improv es system performance\, and reduces both time and cost to deployment. As g lobal competition in software-defined mobility intensifies\, these capabil ities underscore the growing importance of scalable and rigorous validatio n frameworks. Attendees will leave with a practical approach for selecting and applying simulation methods that align with their technical and organ izational needs.\n\nSpeaker(s): Shuhan Yang\n\nAgenda: \n6:00-6:45pm Tech Talk\n\n6:45-7:00pm Q&A\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/52450 0 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/524500 ORGANIZER:leighsun01@gmail.com SEQUENCE:30 SUMMARY:2026 VTS Tech Talk: Driving Confidence at Scale: The Strategic Role of Simulation in Autonomous Systems URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/524500 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="p2">As vehicles become increasingly software-defined\, advanced driver-assistance and autonomous systems must perform reliably across diverse environments and interact safely with a d ynamic real world.
