Use simulation to accelerate the autonomous revolution
summary
Argues that real-world miles are infeasible so ANSYS uses physics-based sensor models and integrated car-to-infrastructure simulation to do validation instead, combining optical, radar, lidar, antenna and network simulators plus a game engine. Claims level‑3 cars need ~20–25 sensors (level‑4 >34), cites Waymo’s ~10 million miles benchmark, and shows a workflow that auto-generates millions of scenarios to evaluate corner cases, sensor placement effects and traffic-level impacts before road release.
