Siemens Helps Mobiledrive Enhance Adas With Digital Twin Tech

Siemens Digital Industries Software has helped MobileDrive accelerate the development of its Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) by adopting a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach. MobileDrive, a joint venture between FIH Mobile and Stellantis, is focused on developing infotainment, telematics, and a cloud service platform, as well as ancillary hardware and software for next-generation autonomous driving systems. By leveraging Siemens’ comprehensive digital twin technology, MobileDrive has been able to develop algorithms and software controls for common and advanced ADAS applications, such as Lane Keep Assist, Emergency Lane Keeping, Lane Following Control, Auto Lane Change, Emergency Steering Assist, and Autonomous Emergency Steering. Siemens’ Simcenter Engineering and Consulting services team provided MobileDrive with a complete methodology and roadmap for its ADAS vision, enabling them to verify ADAS software features early. This had resulted in a more effective and reliable software development process before a physical prototype was even built. The collaboration has helped MobileDrive bring its products to market in a much more streamlined and efficient manner.

Siemens Digital Twin Technology Helps MobileDrive Enhance ADAS for Next-Gen Autonomous Driving Systems
