1. Reducing errors caused by distri-
buted development
The individual components, such as
the function and application software,
basic software, and electronic con-
trol unit (ECU) hardware prototypes,
are delivered by various teams. Iden-
tifying the error sources can there-
fore be tedious if the errors occur
during integration.
2. Overcoming the limitations of

irtualizing a vehicle opens
up new ways for testing and
