UN sets first global rules for autonomous vehicle approval The UN has adopted the first globally aligned technical framework for highly automated and driverless vehicles. OEMs must now prove safety through audits, simulation, track and road testing, while controlling updates and monitoring performance throughout operation. Holger Holzer
Mahle expands ADAS checks with radar testing Mahle and Rohde & Schwarz are adding radar testing to ADAS calibration. The new platform helps workshops and test bodies verify camera and radar sensors after repairs with standardised, documented results. Ronja Schmiedchen
Inside the Shift to Exhaustive Analysis As the automotive industry accelerates toward SDV architectures, manufacturers are confronting a fundamental shift in engineering complexity. Software is no longer a supporting component; it is the primary driver of functionality, differentiation, and lifecycle value. Caroline Guillaume
“ADAS is the primary domain to benefit from virtualization at scale” As SDVs push software complexity and validation demands to new levels, development speed becomes a critical bottleneck. Ford’s Cedric Armand explains how virtualization reshapes software delivery, testing and system integration. Benjamin Müller
The Next Phase of Automotive Software Reliability Today’s automobiles rely on millions of lines of code distributed across embedded systems that control braking, battery management, connectivity, and advanced driver-assistance features. Ensuring the reliability of this software is a critical priority. Caroline Guillaume
