Simulation has increased tremendously in importance over the last two decades, and it plays a critical role in the development and testing of new vehicle technologies.
Through our work with distributed simulation, virtual reality, testing new motion drive algorithms, and modeling vehicle automation, we are pushing the boundaries of simulation science.
