dSPACE, a leading provider of solutions for the development of connected, autonomous, and electrically powered vehicles, announced that it has joined SDVerse, the automotive industry’s first B2B marketplace for software. By joining SDVerse, dSPACE makes its portfolio of hardware‑ and software‑in‑the‑loop (HIL/SIL) simulation, sensor and scenario simulation, AI‑supported test automation, and cloud‑based validation solutions more easily discoverable to automotive manufacturers and suppliers worldwide, helping OEMs and Tier‑1s accelerate the development of safe, high‑performance software‑defined vehicles.

dSPACE, one of the world's leading providers of simulation and validation solutions, invites CES visitors to race against the AI drivers of the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) at its booth #4500 in LVCC West Hall. In a driving simulator, racing fans can compete on the virtualized Indianapolis Motor Speedway against driving stacks based on the driving algorithms of the world's fastest autonomous racing cars.

At CES 2026, dSPACE will showcase end-to-end test solutions that enable vehicle manufacturers to efficiently master the increasing complexity in the development of software-defined vehicles. At booth 4500 in West Hall, dSPACE will present a comprehensive validation portfolio with AI-supported software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop solutions for accelerated vehicle development.

At CES (January 6-9, 2026), dSPACE will demonstrate a new radar solution for functional testing of radar sensors. The DARTS ARROW has been specially developed for use in end-of-line tests and periodic technical inspections (PTI) of radar-based driver assistance systems. The compact radar target simulator is efficient and easy to use and simulates the range, speed, and radar target cross-section of a radar target in dynamic scenarios.

The Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) at CES 2025 will be more challenging and competitive than ever. For the first time, more than two of the world's fastest autonomous racing cars will compete side-by-side at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on January 9, 2025, in what is called Multicar Races. To ensure that the cars are safe and reliable in the real world, the ten university teams have to qualify their AI drivers for the race in the virtual world in a software-in-the-loop environment from dSPACE.

At CES 2025, dSPACE will show how software for electric, autonomous, and software-defined vehicles can be tested efficiently using end-to-end SIL and HIL solutions for simulation and validation. At booth #4500, dSPACE welcomes guests, presenting a comprehensive validation concept based on different test methods such as data replay and software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop testing. By seamlessly combining these test methods, safety-critical driving functions can be validated in earlier stages, leading to accelerated software development cycles.

dSPACE, one of the world's leading solution providers for simulation and validation of automated and connected vehicles, and an Amazon Web Service (AWS) Automotive Competency Partner, has announced the agenda of the one-day user conference on the West Coast at the AWS Automotive Prototyping and Innovation Lab.

When the world's fastest autonomous race cars take to the starting line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on September 6, the ten university teams of the Indy Autonomous Challenge will begin a new chapter in the development of their vehicle controllers: From now on, the university teams can use the extended functionality of dSPACE's software-in-the-loop (SIL) solutions and use the cloud racing services to race virtually against other teams at any time. With the SIL simulations from dSPACE, the racing teams further develop their AI drivers on virtual racetracks to make the cars faster, safer, and more reliable.

dSPACE, one of the world’s leading providers of simulation and validation solutions, is expanding its partnership with the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) and will support its university racing teams not only with hardware, but also with simulation software in the future. The world’s fastest self-driving racecars have already been competing with on-vehicle computers from dSPACE at legendary racetracks around the world for more than a year. In the future, the university teams will also be able to use software-in-the-loop (SIL) solutions from dSPACE and receive training and engineering support. With the SIL simulations, the race teams will be able to train their AI Drivers to be more reliable, safer, and faster in a virtual environment.

At CES 2024, dSPACE will show how electric and self-driving cars can get on the road faster with innovative development, simulation, and validation solutions. As the exclusive on-vehicle computer technology sponsor of the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC), dSPACE will demonstrate how dSPACE solutions work in demanding racing environments at the Autonomous Challenge @ CES 2024 night race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Eight solutions will be presented at the dSPACE booth no. 4300 in the LVCC, West Hall. Here are some highlights:

With TÜV Süd's ISO 26262 certification of the entire Automotive Simulation Models (ASM) tool suite, the sensor-realistic 3D environment AURELION, and the user interface ModelDesk, dSPACE is now the world's first provider of a fully certified tool chain for validating safety-relevant automotive functions. TÜV Süd had previously certified both the VEOS integration platform and the SIMPHERA validation framework. As a result, dSPACE now comprehensively supports customers in the homologation of functions for driver assistance systems, autonomous driving, and electromobility applications.

On April 17, 2023, Dr. Carsten Hoff (49) will become the new CEO of the dSPACE group succeeding Martin Goetzeler (60), who is leaving his post at his own request and for personal reasons. To ensure a smooth handover, Martin Goetzeler will continue to be available to the new CEO in an advisory capacity after April 17, 2023.

At CES, dSPACE will showcase how electric and autonomous vehicles can get on the road faster with innovative simulation and validation solutions. As the exclusive on-vehicle computer technology sponsor of the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC), dSPACE will also demonstrate how dSPACE solutions perform in highly demanding racing environments at the Autonomous Challenge @ CES 2023 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

dSPACE, one of the world’s leading providers of simulation and validation solutions, announced that it is supporting the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) as the event’s Exclusive On-Vehicle Computer Technology Sponsor. The IAC organizes racing competitions among university affiliated teams from around the world to program fully autonomous racecars and compete in a series of history-making events at iconic tracks. dSPACE is providing the AUTERA AutoBox in-vehicle prototyping and data recording system that acts as the central computer in all vehicles, enabling fully autonomous operation of the cars on the racetrack.
