MITRE partners with Mcity to develop a digital and physical autonomous vehicle validation platform. Using simulation tools and NVIDIA technology, developers can safely test AVs before real-world deployment, addressing regulatory challenges for widespread adoption. Mcity’s digital framework complements its physical proving ground to provide comprehensive validation resources to the industry.

The industry lacks universally accepted safety standards for AVs. Traditional testing methods are limited in proving AV reliability, especially in rare or dangerous scenarios. MITRE and Mcity’s collaboration enables developers to simulate sensor interactions in virtual settings, accelerating the validation process. This approach offers a scalable and repeatable solution for proving AV safety.

MITRE and Mcity aim to bridge the gap between industry and regulators by developing a Digital Proving Ground platform. This platform will serve as a national resource for safe AV development, offering a trusted simulation test environment. By integrating digital engineering and simulation tools, the collaboration accelerates AV safety assurance and industry-wide standards.

Developers, automakers, and regulators are working together to establish a reliable testbed for validating AV safety. The collaboration between MITRE, Mcity, and NVIDIA brings the industry closer to a future where AVs can operate safely at scale. This comprehensive approach to testing in real and simulated environments is crucial for gaining public trust and regulatory approval.
