Ahead of AutoSens Europe 2025, we spotlight unmissable roundtables that will shape the conversation around the future of vehicle safety and autonomous driving.
Tuesday 7th October 2025 | 5:15pm
As AI workloads grow in complexity and scale, companies working in autonomous driving are increasingly faced with the challenge of deploying and managing large-scale infrastructure. Maintaining this infrastructure internally is becoming a significant operational burden, distracting teams from their core focus: building and deploying intelligent systems.
This session will explore how teams can offload infrastructure challenges and focus on performance and innovation.

As regulatory bodies worldwide raise the bar for vehicle safety performance, the automotive industry faces mounting challenges to develop, test, and certify systems that comply with emerging active safety standards. FMVSS 127 and the upcoming Euro NCAP 2026 protocols are driving new requirements, especially in complex scenarios like nighttime pedestrian AEB and multi-sensor system validation.
This roundtable aims to bring together experts to explore how OEMs and suppliers can prepare for these requirements efficiently and reliably. We’ll discuss the evolving landscape of testing methodologies, from physical proving grounds to virtual environments, and consider the role of both deterministic simulation and AI-driven techniques in building safety cases. The conversation will be grounded in practical challenges, such as validating thermal camera-based systems, ensuring test repeatability, and coverage under constrained conditions.
Key discussion points:
- How can OEMs and Tier-1s reliably test systems like pedestrian AEB in low-light and adverse weather without excessive test-track runs?
- How do we ensure reliable validation of multi-sensor systems, including thermal cameras, with standard test equipment?
- What role can simulation play in helping bridge test gaps, and what are the limits of digital validation for regulatory compliance?
- How can we ensure simulation results generalize to real-world testing? What metrics or processes can guarantee trust in virtual outcomes?
- Deterministic vs. generative simulation: Where is each approach best suited, and how do we balance control, realism, and explainability in safety-critical scenarios?
- What is the right balance between strict adherence to safety assessment criteria and preserving overall vehicle performance, driver comfort, and system quality?
- How should industry and regulators collaborate to align virtual testing methods with safety assurance requirements?
