										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning the <a href="https://testingexpo-europe.com/atti-forum-schedule">ATTI Forum</a> got underway at <a href="https://testingexpo-europe.com/">Automotive Testing Expo</a> (Messe Stuttgart, Germany, until June 25), offering visitors a variety of content to get stuck into. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-evans-1082a247/"><em>ATTI</em> editor, Rachel Evans</a>, welcomed visitors to the free-to-attend conference, which is now in its third year. The interactive format has proved popular with attendees.</p>
<p>The day started with a panel discussion on Euro 7. It’s a topic that has come in and out of the spotlight, and which <a href="https://automotivetesting.mydigitalpublication.com/june-2026-issue-/"><em>ATTI</em></a> has reported on several times over the past few years.</p>
<p>Next up was <em>ATTI</em>’s fireside chat with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aebada/">Dr Ahmed Ebada</a>, an avid contributor to the magazine, on digital twins and AI. Asked what he hopes people will be thinking about – or doing differently – after they leave the discussion, he said, “I hope attendees leave with a more practical view of AI and digital twins. Rather than asking, ‘How can we deploy more AI?’ I would like them to ask, ‘How can we build trustworthy systems that continuously learn, validate and improve outcomes?’</p>
<p>“Whether we are discussing automated testing, digital twins, SDVs or autonomous systems, the key opportunity lies in connecting data, simulation, AI and real-world operations into a continuous feedback loop.</p>
<p>“Ultimately, I hope the audience recognizes that competitive advantage will not come from having the most AI models, but from building the most reliable and scalable AI-driven decision systems.”</p>
<p>Audience member <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatiana-sokolova-truckdriver445/">Tatiana Sokolova</a>, a professional truck driver, said she is especially interested in how AI, digital twins and intelligent testing technologies can better reflect real-world road conditions and professional driving experience. While the exhibition’s audience doesn’t typically include drivers, she was excited to add a practical, real-world angle to the discussions.</p>
<p>She commented, “I am especially interested in how real-world operational feedback from professional drivers can support testing, validation and safety discussions – for example, by helping to identify edge cases, unusual traffic situations, foreseeable misuse and boundary situations that may be difficult to capture only in simulations or standard test scenarios.”</p>
<p>The morning continued with presentations, and began this afternoon with another panel at 1:35pm, <em>Safe by design, secure by default – navigating SOTIF, functional safety and cybersecurity in modern automotive testing, and more presentation and panels. </em></p>
<p>One of <em>ATTI</em>’s afternoon highlights is the presentation from <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthias-baert/">Matthias Baert</a>, CEO and co-founder of Marple, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessandro-pino-63184b110/">Alessandro Pino</a>, vehicle dynamics controls manager, Bugatti-Rimac – <em>A modern lakehouse architecture for automotive testing – </em>scheduled to take place at 2:25pm. Speaking ahead of the presentation Pino said, “Engineering teams often believe meaningful analysis requires local scripts, while server-based platforms are seen as tools for finance or business users. In reality, modern, server-based technologies are ideally suited to engineering workflows, enabling collaboration, scalability and faster insight generation.”</p>
<p>A panel discussion at 3:10pm will be led by<em> ATTI</em> on <a href="https://www.euroncap.com/what-s-new-from-2026/">Euro NCAP 2026</a>, which introduces the largest increase in test scenarios since the assessment program was launched is due to take place. <em>Euro NCAP 2026: What the new safety framework means for the automotive testing community</em> will cover key questions including how the changes are expected to affect testing and how long OEMs expect this transition to take, how tuning and verification activities will fit within overall development activities, virtual and physical analysis integration, and what Euro NCAP is doing to ensure its program isn’t disruptive to OEMs.</p>
<p>One of <em>ATTI</em>’s panelists, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-deutsch-a7b67699/">Emma Deutsch</a>, director of customer-oriented engineering, test operations and DP office at Nissan Technology Centre Europe, who spoke to <em>ATTI </em>onstage last year, said, “I’m looking forward to discussing how we can work more collaboratively on vehicle safety. I hope that we can give the audience an insight into how these changes effect how vehicle design and development is being radically changed – and how this affects customers.”</p>
<p>The ATTI Forum will conclude with another panel followed by the awards.</p>
<p><strong>Awards</strong> <strong><br>
</strong>Meet in the Atrium from 4:30pm (ceremony at 5:15pm) for drinks and to celebrate industry achievements across 13 categories and three sets of awards: the <a href="https://www.automotivetestingtechnologyinternational.com/news/automotive-testing-expo/shortlist-announced-for-the-2026-automotive-testing-technology-international-awards.html">Automotive Testing Technology International Awards</a>, the new Vehicle Tech Week Trailblazer Awards and the ADAS &amp; Autonomous Vehicle International Awards.</p>
<p><em>Automotive Testing Expo, part of Vehicle Tech Week Europe 2026, is open 9am to 3pm tomorrow, June 25</em></p>

<p>To address this, <a href="https://rfpro.com/">rFpro</a> has launched the AV Elevate In Cabin add-on package that enables automotive OEMs, Tier 1s and sensor developers to tune, train and test driver and occupant monitoring systems in simulation to improve the speed and consistency of in-cabin testing.</p>
<p>“Euro NCAP’s 2026 scoring changes make in-cabin monitoring one of the most consequential areas of vehicle safety development,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-daley-38a02516/">Matt Daley</a>, technical director at rFpro. “When you combine that with ADDW becoming mandatory, it is clear that the demand to develop and validate these systems faster and earlier in the program will only grow. We have taken our proven exterior simulation solution and applied the same techniques to the interior. AV Elevate In Cabin is a physically accurate, engineering-grade  simulation environment enabling thousands of tests to be conducted before anything physical has even been built.”</p>
<p>AV Elevate In Cabin addresses three core areas of in-cabin simulation: the fidelity of the virtual cabin environment, the control of occupant behavior within it and the physical accuracy of sensor perception.</p>
<h3><strong>Interior fidelity</strong></h3>
<p>rFpro has improved the fidelity of its vehicle interior models by adding sub-structures that are invisible to the human eye and to cameras but are detected by radar. The metal framework within seats, for example, is now modeled to ensure radar-based sensing systems encounter realistic returns.</p>
<p>The object library has been expanded to include items commonly found inside vehicles, including rucksacks, laptops, child seats, pets and other personal belongings. Skin simulation has also been improved, with higher-detail facial models to support systems that assess driver state from facial features.</p>
<h3><strong>Controlling the virtual environment </strong></h3>
<p>A high-density bone rig within rFpro’s human models enables fine control of facial and limb movements, supporting simulation of the macro and micro expressions that driver monitoring systems must detect. This includes ‘owl movement’, where the driver turns their head, and ‘lizard movement’, where only the eyes shift away from the road.</p>
<p>“We have even considered details like opening and closing vehicle windows,” said Daley. “That is not something you need to think about for external sensor simulation, but it fundamentally changes how light and radar energy travel through the cabin. If you are developing an in-cabin system that needs to work reliably in the real world, these are the kinds of variables you have to account for.”</p>
<h3><strong>Sensor modeling</strong></h3>
<p>Most in-cabin systems use a mixture of radar sensors, visible light cameras and IR cameras, that see using their own IR energy source. rFpro’s new IR camera sensor integration accurately models the energy emitted by the camera and how it interacts with every cabin surface.</p>
<p>Specific IR reflectivity and radar properties have been assigned to all interior materials, including the driver’s skin, seats and windows. These material characteristics have been correlated with laboratory measurements conducted under the Sim4CamSens research program, with the <a href="https://www.npl.co.uk/">National Physical Laboratory</a> and <a href="https://csa.catapult.org.uk/">Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult</a> involved in the testing. Skin reflectivity, for example, has been characterized down to the difference between a nose, chin and cheek to improve the realism of IR camera data.</p>
<p>“Looking further ahead, understanding who is in the cabin and what they are doing is essential for autonomous vehicle operations, not just for safety, but for the passenger experience,” said Daley. “If you know where occupants are, you can optimize everything from airbag deployment to noise-cancelling audio. We are looking to partner with sensor developers and OEMs to help drive the direction of this capability further.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="isSelectedEnd"><strong><em>In just under two weeks’ time, <a href="https://testingexpo-europe.com/">Automotive Testing Expo Europe</a> kicks off, and there is a fantastic program of high-level content on the agenda, including fireside chats, panel discussions and presentations. </em><em>With years of experience reporting on the evolution of vehicle evaluation, </em><a href="https://automotivetesting.mydigitalpublication.com/june-2026-issue-/cover">ATTI</a><em> editor Rachel Evans discusses her highlights of the program and shares her observations on what’s next when it comes to the development of sustainable, cost-effective and more efficient testing</em></strong></p>
<p>The <a href="https://testingexpo-europe.com/atti-forum-schedule">ATTI Forum</a> has been curated exclusively for professionals across vehicle development, testing and quality assurance, dedicated solely to discussing next-generation analysis practices and technologies, including hardware and software, that will shape tomorrow’s development landscape.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><strong>What themes or trends are you seeing emerge most strongly right now?<br>
</strong>Over the past few years, several themes have become major auto news for various reasons. One of those is Euro 7 because it introduces the testing of non-exhaust emissions for the first time (brake and tire emissions), as well as stricter limits on nitrogen oxides and an extended compliance window of 200,000km or 10 years, compared with Euro 6’s 100,000km or five years. As such, we have organized a panel discussion – <em>Euro 7 compliance requirements: Challenges and industry preparedness</em> – with specialists from across the sector to help our audience share strategies and insights.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">At one point, it seemed that revelation after revelation was emerging about the vulnerability of vehicles to hacking, alongside data privacy issues linked to the application of AI in vehicles (see our feature on the topic, <em>No free rides</em>, in the <a href="https://automotivetesting.mydigitalpublication.com/june-2025/page-22">June 2025 issue of <em>ATTI</em></a>). We’ll also be hosting a panel discussion on this and other safety topics – <em>Safe by design, secure by default: Navigating SOTIF, functional safety and cybersecurity in modern automotive testing</em>.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Another key thread is data. Big data has been at the forefront of discussions throughout my 14 years working on <a href="https://automotivetesting.mydigitalpublication.com/june-2026-issue-/cover"><em>ATTI</em></a>, but there now seems to be a realization that action is needed if the sector is to fully exploit the potential of all the data it has been capturing. Having it is one thing, using it is another – and people seem to be springing into action. It’s a theme throughout the <a href="https://testingexpo-europe.com/automotive-testing-technology-international-awards">ATTI Awards</a> and Forum, as well as the show itself, and I’m looking forward to learning how developers are tackling the challenge. I am personally looking forward to the presentation from <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessandro-pino-63184b110/">Bugatti Rimac’s vehicle dynamics controls manager, Alessandro Pino</a>, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthias-baert/">Marple CEO and co-founder, Matthias Baert</a> – <em>A modern lakehouse architecture for automotive testing.</em> The audience will learn how the two companies have worked together to create a next-gen data architecture, having <span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">stored, queried and analyzed 300TB+ of powertrain data from the Tourbillon. </span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><strong>What topic do you expect attendees to be discussing long after the ATTI Forum ends?<br>
</strong>Data and digital twins. I was at another industry event recently and asked various people how they define a digital twin, and whether they would agree with the statement that many digital twins are “static 3D models with a few datapoints layered on top.” These words were written by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aebada/">Dr Ahmed Abada, a senior product manager at BMW Group</a>, in a column he wrote for the <a href="https://automotivetesting.mydigitalpublication.com/march-2026-issue-/page-92">March 2026 edition of <em>ATTI</em></a>. At first, the answer I received was simply, “It depends.” But once I got people talking, we ended up discussing and debating different viewpoints for quite some time.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">I’m really looking forward to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7470388647754891264">chatting with Dr Abada</a> and getting his thoughts on digital twin applications, data security and other industry issues, including how regulations affecting exports to the USA are impacting European OEMs. For example, regulations around components, software and hardware, and where automated testing can help.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><strong>What are you hoping to learn from the conversations happening here?<br>
</strong>Every day I am fed content from external sources about the latest testing innovations and groundbreaking vehicle projects. It’s easy to be fooled into thinking everyone has it sorted, that every vehicle tester is doing their job with their eyes closed. Don’t get me wrong, I have no doubt our audience members take everything in their stride. After all, it is the engineer’s job to experiment, learn and develop new solutions. However, I am interested in hearing about the day-to-day challenges engineers are facing in the lab behind closed doors.</p>
<p>For example, it’s all well and good to say that test automation is helpful, but where are facilities struggling to integrate automated testing and AI into digital twin processes so that these technologies are not standalone tools, but part of a broader workflow? And, crucially, how can our exhibitors help visitors meet those niggles head-on?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bmwgroup.com">BMW Group</a> and <a href="https://mistral.ai/">Mistral AI</a> are partnering to advance the use of artificial intelligence in crash simulation to improve quality, accuracy and speed in complex engineering tasks. The collaboration marks a first step toward scaling domain-specific AI across further areas of vehicle development and the BMW Group value chain.</p>
<p>“For the BMW Group, the use of industrial data is a key factor in translating artificial intelligence into value creation,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/franz-decker-051b074/">Dr Franz Decker</a>, CIO and senior vice president of the BMW Group. “By combining our engineering datasets with Mistral AI’s model training capabilities, we are building specialized AI which supports complex development tasks.”</p>
<h3><strong>Complexity and data volume in crash simulation</strong></h3>
<p>Each week, BMW runs thousands of virtual crash simulations, generating vast amounts of engineering data. Over time, this has resulted in a historical dataset of over one petabyte of crash simulation data that provides highly detailed insights into vehicle structures and material behavior, forming a unique foundation for training an industrial AI model.</p>
<p>“As Industrial AI becomes the new frontier for AI, we are proud to partner with the BMW Group” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marjorietoucas/">Marjorie Janiewicz</a>, chief revenue officer of Mistral AI. “This collaboration shows how industry specific AI models can help solve complex engineering challenges such as crash simulation.”</p>
<h3><strong>Large industry model as a technical foundation</strong></h3>
<p>To scale this approach, the BMW Group is focusing on large industry models. These are AI systems trained on industry-specific engineering and simulation data from vehicle development and safety testing. Unlike general‑purpose AI systems, LIMs embed domain‑specific knowledge directly into the AI model. This requires not only industrial data, but also deep domain expertise and technical environments that enable AI systems to learn directly from BMW’s development processes.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Helm.ai has launched next-generation foundation models, GenSim-3 and VidGen-3, which it says are the first to achieve native full-HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution across a full six-camera, 360° surround-view suite. By rendering a 12MP fully synchronized synthetic canvas per timestep, Helm.ai reportedly delivers five times higher pixel density than current state-of-the-art benchmarks for generative world models.</p>
<p>The foundation models address what is often referred to as the industry’s data wall, where the cost and effort of collecting real-world edge-case data can slow development. Traditional generative world models typically produce video at sub-HD or VGA resolutions (around 0.4MP per camera). In contrast, Helm.ai generates full-HD (2MP) output that matches the resolution of modern production vehicle cameras, helping to reduce the sim-to-real gap in training for Level 2 and Level 4 autonomous driving systems.</p>
<h3><strong>Scene transfer versus fully synthetic generation</strong></h3>
<p>Helm.ai’s platform provides auto makers with a pipeline for data augmentation and creation.</p>
<p>GenSim-3 (high-fidelity scene transfer) enables development teams to restylize real-world video synchronously across six-camera, 360° surround-view setups. The model alters parameters such as weather, illumination and object appearance at full-HD (2MP) resolution. Additionally, the latest model introduces improvements in environmental texture, surface reflectivity and light behavior on complex materials.</p>
<p>VidGen-3 (fully synthetic generation) generates highly realistic driving sequences completely synthetically. By simulating complex environments, human-like agent behaviors and traffic logic from scratch, VidGen-3 bridges geographic and environmental data gaps at scale.</p>
<h3><strong>The 5X pixel density advantage</strong></h3>
<p>The technology’s key breakthrough is the fidelity of the multicamera generative simulation.</p>
<p>By producing full-HD (2MP) video, <a href="https://helm.ai/">Helm.ai</a> provides significantly more visual information than traditional generative datasets. Because modern production vehicles use high-resolution camera systems, training data is more effective when it matches that resolution. Lower-resolution synthetic data can create a domain gap when used to train full-HD perception systems. By generating data natively at 2MP per camera, Helm.ai aligns training inputs with real-world sensor output, supporting more consistent model performance in deployment.</p>
<p>To accommodate diverse sensor and training requirements, engineering teams can optimize for dynamic, high-speed validation with three-camera setups at 30fps, or maximize spatial context with a full six-camera, 12MP surround view at 5fps.</p>
<h3><strong>The virtual sensor twin</strong></h3>
<p>Unlike CGI-based video generation methods, Helm.ai’s models are designed to simulate hardware-like sensor output by incorporating certain physical characteristics of real camera systems. This includes reproducing effects such as sensor noise patterns, lens flares and exposure-related artifacts. This produces training data that more closely reflects real-world camera behavior, helping perception systems learn under conditions similar to those encountered in actual driving environments.</p>
<h3><strong>High fidelity on lower compute</strong></h3>
<p>While other generative world models rely on the massive computational scaling of thousands of GPUs to generate sub-HD video, the full-HD (2MP) resolution milestone was achieved using a highly optimized cluster of just a few hundred advanced GPUs.</p>
<p>“We are moving the industry from standard ‘AI video’ to authentic, hardware-accurate sensor emulation,” said Vladislav Voroninski, the CEO and founder of Helm.ai. “By leading with a full-HD (2MP) standard and a 12MP total aggregate capability per timestep, we have solved the resolution bottleneck that has historically limited the utility of generative AI in safety-critical systems. By optimizing our compute architecture, we are giving our partners a high-performance platform to validate their autonomous stacks using synthetic data that perfectly matches the fidelity of their actual production sensors.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New hardware support packages connect <a href="https://uk.mathworks.com/">MathWorks</a>’ model-based design and simulation capabilities to the <a href="https://www.renesas.com/en?srsltid=AfmBOorLiKMYNmtyhOFOmlFVub54neXL7WXlqBLC9fov5LBYTY54UNA_">Renesas</a> RH850/U2A microcontroller. This Matlab and Simulink integration enables engineering teams to move from simulation to running embedded code on hardware with automated build, flashing and on‑target execution while also speeding up development cycles through the elimination of multiple manual integration steps. Engineering teams are given a consistent model-based design workflow across automotive and industrial programs, reducing integration effort and accelerating deployment.</p>
<p>“Our customers expect a straightforward path from simulation model to microcontroller, and the new integration with Matlab and Simulink delivers exactly that,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradrex/">Brad Rex</a>, senior director of the system solution team, user experience group at Renesas. “By working with MathWorks, we’ve removed the need to assemble toolchains and device drivers by hand so teams can simulate and validate designs earlier, iterate faster and reduce integration effort across ECU and industrial‑control projects.”</p>
<p>The Renesas RH850/U2A microcontroller – widely used in automotive ECUs – provides the deterministic performance and safety-critical features required for EV motor control, ADAS and body electronics. Engineers developing traction motor control for electric vehicles can deploy field‑oriented control and regenerative braking algorithms directly from Simulink to RH850/U2A‑based ECUs. This shortens the time from concept to vehicle‑level testing, supports smoother torque delivery during rapid transients and speeds calibration across drive cycles – without writing initialization code or custom build scripts.</p>
<p>Said Anuja Apte, India product marketing manager at MathWorks, “Our collaboration with Renesas strengthens the level of interoperability that engineers expect when using Matlab and Simulink. By providing a direct path from Simulink models to optimized microcontroller deployment, we help engineering teams move from design to hardware more efficiently while staying integrated with the broader toolchains they rely on. This approach reflects the MathWorks Connections program, which brings partners and customers together to accelerate innovation and reduce time-to-market within a widely adopted engineering and scientific platform.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Candera has released Candera CGI Studio 3.16, the latest version of its HMI development software, designed to support faster, smarter and more flexible human machine interface (HMI) development.</p>
<p>The release extends the capabilities of Candera CGI Studio across the entire workflow from design and validation to deployment, and enables development teams to create and scale modern user interface concepts more efficiently across industries, hardware platforms and a wide range of use cases.</p>
<p>“With Candera CGI Studio 3.16, HMI development gets smarter and faster, combining AI-assisted tools, flexible workflows, and broad platform support,” said Roland Winkler, senior product development manager at Candera.</p>
<h3><strong>Improvements and updates </strong></h3>
<p>The Scene Composer experience has been enhanced with a new View Editor that simplifies automotive HMI workflows by allowing developers to preview scene combinations and manage transitions within a structured framework.</p>
<p>An Embedded Player enables seamless switching between design and runtime simulation inside Scene Composer, while a standalone Player remains available.</p>
<p>Multi View in the Scene Editor adds up to four synchronized views with selectable camera angles, improving inspection of complex 3D interfaces and enabling quick switching between single and multi-view modes.</p>
<p>Localization and documentation workflows are improved with built-in XLIFF 2.0 support. Developers can import, merge, edit and export localized text in a standard XML-based format, making CGI Studio easier to integrate into existing localization toolchains.</p>
<p>The new AI Docs Agent provides in-workflow support by delivering tailored answers in any language, helping users find information more quickly and reducing day-to-day friction. Each response also includes direct links to relevant Candera CGI Studio documentation, enabling users to access source material immediately.</p>
<h3><strong>Solution templates and advanced 3D</strong></h3>
<p>Another highlight of Candera CGI Studio 3.16 is the expansion of ready-to-use automotive HMI templates. The new In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) template includes building blocks for navigation, weather, media, phone, HVAC and digital twin scenarios. It supports both 2D and 3D use cases, with advanced visualizations and customizable application screens.</p>
<p>The new Instrument Cluster Solution Template integrates advanced driver assistant system functions such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), lane departure detection (LDD) and side assist alongside essential dashboard elements like speed gauge, media, telltales, time, odometer, temperature and turn-by-turn guidance. These templates help teams accelerate prototyping and shorten time to value.</p>
<p>The update enhances 3D capabilities with full glTF 2.0 support and features such as clear coat rendering. It also adds HDR rendering with tone mapping and automated import of image-based lighting cube maps for global illumination. Together, these improvements enable more realistic HMI visuals across automotive, industrial and embedded applications.</p>
<h3><strong>Engine and platform improvements</strong></h3>
<p>On the platform side, Candera CGI Studio 3.16 expands deployment flexibility with native rendering support for Apple iOS, enabling developers to build applications for Apple devices using Xcode and Metal.</p>
<p>The release also introduces Vulkan support as a modern graphics backend for 3D GPUs, improving CPU and GPU efficiency on Linux and Android platforms.</p>
<p>Another key addition is Software Rendering, which enables Candera CGI Studio 3.16 to run on platforms without a GPU. This enables platform-independent rendering across a wide range of targets, including ESP32-S3, ESP32-P4, Traveo II Body MCU, Raspberry Pi Pico and Linux-based systems. The renderer supports transformations, blending and visual effects while achieving up to 60 FPS depending on the platform and configuration, with low memory requirements.</p>
<p>Additional engine optimizations round out the release. Candera CGI Studio 3.16 now supports the new Monotype Spark Engine, designed for low memory usage and high performance. The update also includes newer versions of FreeType and HarfBuzz, delivering significant cache improvements for more efficient text rendering.</p>
<p>Candera CGI Studio 3.16 also streamlines behavior configuration through automatic code-size optimization using the SC plugin and CMake integration. These improvements help developers reduce memory footprint, improve performance and simplify overall project setup and configuration.</p>
