Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Our answers to the most frequently asked questions

What is a Virtual Drive?

A virtual drive refers to a simulated driving scenario created within ADAS/AD system. This virtual drive is utilized in conjunction with recompute and ETAS DMS to facilitate the development, testing, and validation of automated driving systems.

Recompute and Virtual Drive

Recompute involves providing recorded or artificially generated data to the ETAS DMS applications, such as those used in ADAS/AD. This data is processed by the system, and the output is then analyzed. The virtual drive serves as the simulated space where these computations and analyses take place. It allows developers to recreate driving scenarios, test various algorithms, and assess the performance of automated driving functions in a controlled, virtual environment.

ETAS DMS and Virtual Drive

ETAS DMS manages the operations and functions of the automated driving system. The virtual drive serves as a crucial component in ETAS DMS testing, enabling the assessment of the system’s responses to different driving situations without the need for physical on-the-road testing. This virtual testing environment is essential for addressing the challenges of validation, providing determinism, and ensuring reproducibility in the testing process.
