In San Jose last week at the IEEE-SA Ethernet & IP @ Automotive Technology Day event, there was non-stop action in the presentation and the exhibit halls. It provided attendees with an update on the research numerous companies are conducting in the areas of high performance computing, distributed software-defined networks, smart switching architectures and reliable Real-time Ethernet communications for safety critical applications. These technologies are shaping the future of connected and automated vehicles.

Last Week, the third WAVE-DSRC plugfest took place in the Bay Area. Organized by the OmniAir Consortium,  with support from several sponsors, including Spirent, over 170 participated from more than 40 different organizations. The event was a real success and marked another milestone in the deployment of 802.11p-based V2X technology to enhance driver safety.

Our concept of what a car does is being turned upside down, and it is advanced communications, sensing and control technology which is causing the disruption. So how can simulation testing help guarantee the safety and performance of the new automotive network systems required to support these new features?
