Ansys VRXPERIENCE simulation platform has been designed and developed to support this type of iterative process for cutting-edge, driverless systems. The complete solution extends from component-level model-in-the-loop (MIL) testing through system-level verification and validation using software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation. VRXPERIENCE also accounts for human factors by simulating human-machine interaction (HMI) behaviors in a 3D virtual environment.
