Virtualized In Situ Software Update Verification: Verification of Over-the-Air Automotive Software Updates

The integration of driver assistance and autonomous driving capabilities has increased the complexity of automotive software, making the verification of software updates more challenging. The utility of simulators in software verification is limited in terms of their level of fidelity to real-world hardware and driving conditions. The use of physical test vehicles on a test track is both costly and not representative of real-world conditions and vehicle configurations.
