ABOUT autonomous vehicle (AV) testing
As autonomous vehicles advance, thorough testing is crucial to ensure safety, cybersecurity, and data privacy. The industry aims to gain consumer trust by ensuring driver and environmental safety.
Communication between vehicles (V2V), infrastructure (V2I), and devices/networks (V2D and V2N) must be reliable. To establish industry-wide standards and facilitate the adoption of driverless technologies, new approaches combining real-world and virtual simulation tests, along with corresponding regulations, need to be developed.

why autonomous vehicle testing is important
As autonomous driving technology advances, gaining trust and acceptance is crucial for the development of self-driving cars on public roads. TÜV SÜD America's autonomous vehicle testing services supports the smooth roll-out of automated and connected vehicles by:
- Address existing challenges - define new safety assessment compliance criteria for automated and connected technologies
- Assess safety and security in real world environments - adopt an integrated scenario-based approach
- Allow reproducible results - provide type approval and confirmation of product safety
- Save time and money - use efficient hybrid testing approach that combines virtual and field testing methods
- Conduct on-track testing - use a high-precision remote-controlled vehicle in precisely defined scenarios

OUR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE TESTING SERVICES
-
SYSTEM AND EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENT
- Our development teams develop efficient solutions for safety and security assessments, including functional safety testing, quality analysis and performance assessment.
-
- TÜV SÜD is developing a simulation and testing framework, which allows multiple scenarios, environments, system configurations and driver characteristics to be tested and analyzed.
- As real-world vehicle testing will no longer be sufficient to model the wide ranging scenarios of autonomous vehicles, new assessment criteria must be defined, using a combination of virtual simulations, physical ground or field testing, and additional data (e.g. field and accident data).

our self-driving car safety expertise
With over 100 years of experience in vehicle testing, TÜV SÜD America collaborates with leading automotive OEMs and suppliers globally. We excel in testing and benchmarking advanced driver assistance systems, supporting the era of highly automated driving.
We actively contribute to standardization committees, shaping the legal framework and regulations for type approval. Through global projects, we develop and establish testing methodologies to ensure the safety and cybersecurity of autonomous vehicles. Leveraging our international network of commercial companies, universities, regulatory bodies, and research institutes, we assist in the secure development and global implementation of your automated technologies.
We are closely involved with a range of global highly autonomous driving projects:
- IAMTS: TÜV SÜD co-founded IAMTS (The International Alliance for Mobility Testing and Standardization), an international alliance focused on testing, standardization, and certification of advanced mobility systems, with SAE International, China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC), Shanghai Intelligent Automotive Center (SIAC),and International Transportation Innovation Center (ITIC). We work alongside esteemed organizations to develop smart mobility testbeds that meet high operational standards.
- PEGASUS: In Germany, TÜV SÜD is the only technical service organization participating in the Government’s PEGASUS project of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), an industry consortium with 16 industrial and research partners focused on assessment and validation of highly automated driving systems on highways.
- CETRAN: TÜV SÜD is working with Singapore’s Centre of Excellence for Testing and Research of Autonomous Vehicles (CETRAN) to address the new challenges of regulation development and functional safety of autonomous vehicles within urban environments.
- openGENESIS: This is a joint project of TÜV SÜD in collaboration with the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) to certify systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) used in autonomous driving and to develop a 'roadworthiness test' for algorithms.
