As regulatory bodies worldwide raise the bar for vehicle safety performance, the automotive industry faces mounting challenges to develop, test, and certify systems that comply with emerging active safety standards. FMVSS 127 and the upcoming Euro NCAP 2026 protocols are driving new requirements, especially in complex scenarios like nighttime pedestrian AEB and multi-sensor system validation.
This roundtable aims to bring together experts to explore how OEMs and suppliers can prepare for these requirements efficiently and reliably. We’ll discuss the evolving landscape of testing methodologies, from physical proving grounds to virtual environments, and consider the role of both deterministic simulation and AI-driven techniques in building safety cases. The conversation will be grounded in practical challenges, such as validating thermal camera-based systems, ensuring test repeatability, and coverage under constrained conditions.
