AAH #632 – High-Tech Simulators: The Path to Zero Prototypes

January 26, 2023 by John McElroy

Listen to “AAH #632 – High-Tech Simulators: The Path to Zero Prototypes” on Spreaker.

LIVE Thursdays at 3 PM ET!

GUEST:
Michael Hoffmann, Senior Expert, Simulation Driven Development, VI-grade

Automakers spend a fortune building prototypes when developing new cars and trucks. They have to smash, bash and crash them to make sure they meet their design specs. But what if you could get rid of prototypes through simulation? That’s why we’ve got Michael Hoffmann from VI-grade, which has some of the coolest driving simulators in the world. Their goal is zero prototypes. So, can it be done?

PANEL:
Don Sherman, Hagerty
