Intelligent models for smarter decision-making

Consider, for example, automated driving systems. Although autonomous vehicles promise to significantly improve mobility, engineers must test these frameworks for critical factors such as safety and potential system failures. Toyota is one of the automakers working to make driverless systems safe. In 2016, Toyota president and CEO Akio Toyoda said more testing would be needed to complete its mission--some 8.8 billion miles of it. Fortunately, says Stefan Jockusch, vice president of strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software, simulation can help.
