Development of a lidar model for the analysis of borderline cases including vehicle dynamics in a virtual city environment in real time
Advanced driver assistance systems are an important step on the way towards the autonomous driving. However, there are new challenges in the release of increasingly complex systems. For the testing of those systems many test kilometers are necessary to represent sufficient diversity. Hence, the virtual testing of driver assistance systems brings new opportunities.
