dSPACE and Foretellix Deepen Cooperation to Enhance the Safety of Automated Driving

Joint solution connects Foretellix’s product development and verification platform with dSPACE Automotive Simulation Models

Paderborn, Germany, and Tel Aviv, Israel, 7 December 2021.dSPACE, an internationally leading provider of simulation and validation solutions for the development of connected, self-driving, and electric vehicles, and Foretellix, a leading platform provider for product development, verification, and validation of automated driving systems (ADAS and AV), are deepening their cooperation to enhance the safety testing of automated driving systems (ADS).

The joint solution integrates Foretellix’s Foretify™ platform for product development, verification, and validation with the dSPACE Automotive Simulation Models (ASM) for HIL and SIL applications, allowing OEMs and Tier1s to ensure safety and reduce development costs and time to market of new ADS.

Together, Foretellix and dSPACE offer a robust testing and verification solution that will significantly reduce the cost of testing by identifying bugs, edge cases, and unknowns early in the development cycle. The Foretellix Foretify™ platform uses a quantifiable approach to safety and hyper-automation to create, orchestrate, and analyze the massive number of tests that these systems may encounter on the road. The dSPACE Automotive Simulation Models and AURELION (advanced physics-based sensor models and photorealistic visualization) enable users to simulate and test all functions for ADS, and to reproduce and reuse these tests at all stages of the development process.

“Partnerships and partner ecosystems are key to taking on the challenges of automated driving,” says Hagen Haupt, Director of Automated Driving & Software Solutions at dSPACE. “It is always a pleasure to work with highly skilled and open-minded professionals, and we are excited to combine our Automotive Simulation Models with Foretellix’s verification and validation platform Foretify. This partnership is a valuable contribution, enabling our mutual customers to completely achieve their safety objectives and requirements for the validation of automated driving systems.”

“Foretellix prides itself on being an open platform that provides its customers the ability to seamlessly integrate with best-in-class testing tools for ADS development,” says Roy Fridman, VP of Business Development and Sales at Foretellix. “We are committed to supporting the industry’s best simulation tools. Working with dSPACE is a true privilege. They are a team of like-minded professionals that are focused on harnessing best-in-class technology to ensure safety and full homologation of ADAS and AVs.”
