VVM Mid-term presentation
15 / 16 March, 2022
VVM plays a key role in the proof of safety of automated driving functions. The mid-term event will present first results and new developments within the project. In various presentations and panel discussions, detailed insights into the methods, tools and approaches of VVM will be given. The second day of the event will discuss the goals and currents developments in an international context. In addition to that, a virtual exhibition of posters will give more in depth information on the topics surrounding verification and validation of automated driving systems.
