Autonomous Driving Simulation Research: Foreign giants build closed-loop simulation platforms, while domestic companies focus on the construction of scenario library

In the development of high-level autonomous driving, the importance of simulation testing becomes more and more apparent. From 2020 to 2021, both foreign and domestic companies stepped up the layout in the field of autonomous driving simulation.

In the transition from industrial simulation to autonomous driving simulation, giants such as Ansys and Siemens have established various modules of autonomous driving simulation through continuous acquisition, cooperation and technological development, strengthened the closed-loop of the simulation platform, and built industrial barriers. At present, the layout of foreign leading companies has covered more than 80% of the simulation sector, and which is continuously updated.

From 2020 to 2021, top foreign simulation companies updated and optimized the following sectors:

More sensor models such as camera, radar, LiDAR, etc. are supported

Ansys: unified simulation with the addition of camera, LiDAR, and radar

On January 7, 2020, FLIR Systems, Inc. and ANSYS were partnering to deliver superior hazard detection capabilities for assisted driving and autonomous vehicles (AVs) - empowering automakers to deliver unprecedented vehicle safety. Through this partnership, FLIR will integrate a fully physics-based thermal sensor into ANSYS' leading-edge driving simulator to model, test, and validate thermal camera designs within an ultra-realistic virtual world. The new solution will reduce OEM development time by optimizing thermal camera placement for use with tools such as automatic emergency braking (AEB), pedestrian detection, and within future AVs.

In January 2021, ANSYS 2021 R1 expanded sensor simulation capabilities with scanning and rotating lidar models to improve AV simulation reliability. At the same time, it used a new GPU to accelerate the radar simulation.

Siemens: addition of LiDAR simulation

In September 2020, Siemens partnered with XenomatiX to add a generic, physics-based LiDAR simulation model to its Simcenter Prescan software. The knowledge and expertise of XenomatiX' optical team together with its advanced, true solid-state, LiDAR technology, can enable Siemens to fine-tune its simulation model and validate it with real-life measurements from XenomatiX.

At present, the LiDAR model of Prescan can accurately describe all the optical properties (including surface shape, reflection characteristics, texture, and structure) of materials.

CARLA: upgrade of LiDAR sensor

In September 2020, CARLA 0.9.10 came with the trunk packed of improvements, with notable dedication to sensors. The LIDAR sensor was upgraded, and a brand-new semantic LiDAR sensor provides with much more information of the surroundings.

Expansion of Cloud Simulation

Cloud computing capabilities can support large-scale simulation, cover massive driving scenarios, achieve high-concurrency running tests, and accelerate simulation running speed. Therefore, massively parallel acceleration in the cloud is one of the necessary core capabilities of autonomous driving simulation test platforms. Currently, the autonomous driving industry generally chooses Microsoft Azure as the cloud simulation partner.

Generally speaking, Chinese companies are still fighting their own way in the construction of scenario libraries, facing problems such as inconsistent data on scenarios, difficulty in establishing an evaluation and certification system of autonomous driving simulation & test. Therefore, the establishment of scenario library standards has become one of the current concerns in the field of simulation.
