Along side a world-leading OEM. ASI has developed autonomous technology capable of choreographed testing of ADAS/AV systems. We call this technology SWARMING.

Based on studies such as those done by NHTSA, OEMs are finding that using simulation to test, validate, and verify ADAS/AV systems simply isn’t enough. There is a large frequently unaddressed gap in ensuring these vehicles are safe to release on public roads, and SWARMING is filling that gap 

Driven by robotic systems, these autonomous vehicles are capable of tighter, more accurate positioning than manned vehicles can safely perform. This technology utilizes vehicle-to vehicle and vehicle-to-server communications with advanced control algorithms, ensuring autonomous vehicles will be posed at predefined positions and velocities at given times. This fully exercises the responses of the entire ADAS/AV systems required for autonomous driving. When triggered, Mobius – ASl’s command and control software – releases control to the ADAS/AV system while continually monitoring safety, ready to regain control instantly if conditions are not nominal.

“We realize that testing high speed collision anticipation and avoidance is simply too dangerous for human drivers, yet the need for this is now. Our solution is to use robot drivers during these dangerous testing phases, so that OEMs can test their vehicles to the extreme limits of their engineering while ensuring the safety of everyone involved.”
