Hyundai Mobis Establishes System to Reduce Autonomous Driving Verification from 10,000 Hours to 1 Week

Recreating Diverse Driving Scenarios in the Lab via Simulators

Automated Data Management Integrated with Simulators

Large-Scale Testing Conducted Faster and More Efficiently

Hyundai Mobis has developed a solution that can dramatically reduce the tens of thousands of hours of testing required for key components used in software-defined vehicles (SDVs).

On April 16, Hyundai Mobis announced that it has established an evaluation and verification system that allows for repeated testing of SDV and autonomous driving core control units (ECUs). This system integrates data collected from real-world driving tests with a data management solution and simulators to recreate a variety of driving scenarios.

This system significantly shortens evaluation and verification time by utilizing a platform that connects multiple simulators in parallel, each reflecting various validation scenarios. Hyundai Mobis plans to expand this platform to connect up to 60 simulators in the future. With this expansion, the company will be able to complete evaluation and verification equivalent to 10,000 hours within just one week.

In particular, the system is based on a wide range of data obtained from real-world driving and parking environments using various sensors installed in test vehicles. It offers the advantage of being able to simulate and implement conditions that are difficult to reproduce in reality—such as nighttime, rain, or unexpected situations—within a virtual environment. By optimally combining real-world and virtual data, the system is expected to enable comprehensive evaluation of the perception performance and stability of autonomous driving and ADAS systems.

Hyundai Mobis plans to actively utilize this system to comprehensively verify the performance and reliability of algorithms for autonomous driving sensors such as radar, cameras, lidars, and ultrasonic sensors, as well as various electronic control units. By proactively establishing this evaluation and verification system capable of one-stop management of massive sensor data, the company aims to strengthen its technological competitiveness for SDV advancement and gain further momentum in aggressive global order acquisition activities.

Bongchul Ko, Executive Vice President in charge of Electronics Research at Hyundai Mobis, emphasized, "In the era of SDVs and autonomous driving, evaluation and verification are just as crucial as technology development itself," adding, "With the establishment of this new evaluation and verification system, we will simultaneously expand the speed and scope of verification, thereby further enhancing our competitiveness in securing orders for core SDV components."

Hyundai Mobis plans to continue advancing this evaluation and verification system by linking data and collaborating with major global R&D centers in the future.
