At NI, connection is at the heart of what we do. From connecting the dots in technology that show us a path forward to connecting with partners to bring about future advancements, we’re on a mission to Engineer Ambitiously™ today, tomorrow, and for the next 100 years.

That’s why we’re so excited about our strategic alliance with Foretellix, a leading automated driving systems product development, verification, and validation solution provider. With a shared focus on enabling engineers to produce safe and reliable advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AVs), we’re hoping to drive faster time to market at lower development costs together.

We’re witnessing a radical digital transformation in the automotive industry. With autonomous driving systems, one of the challenges is the endless number of scenarios that must be accounted for to ensure safe and reliable products reach the market. Whether it’s an ADAS or fully autonomous vehicle, extensive testing throughout each phase of production needs to occur, and that requires tools and methodologies that are equipped to handle such needs.

With the intention of addressing the need for comprehensive testing and enabling companies to deploy AVs safely and efficiently, Foretellix has developed proven methodologies and solutions with three goals in mind:

1. Decreasing the amount of time necessary for deployment
2. Improving quality in order to avoid costly recalls
3. Reducing development costs through automation

This game-changing alliance between NI and Foretellix has critical implications for the future of AVs. This collaboration brings NI’s solutions for hardware in the loop (HIL), software in the loop (SIL), and ADAS data recording together with Foretellix’s test management platform, Foretify™, which can generate scenarios, identify safety gaps, and optimize the production process. The result of this union? An end-to-end flow that provides a holistic solution that improves scenario-based testing and coverage for customers.

Here at NI, we pride ourselves on being expert connectors. What began as a mission to connect instruments to computers is now a journey of connecting engineers to solve some of the greatest challenges we face today. So, what’s next? We’re continuing to join forces with industry leaders keen on forging a path forward to drive innovation and performance. Let’s engineer greatness together.
