Ansys is working with Nvidia on introducing better sensors for self-driving cars and other autonomous vehicles.
Pittsburgh-based Ansys is a simulation software company that has created the Ansys AVxcelerate Sensors within Nvidia Drive Sim, a scenario-based autonomous vehicle (AV) simulator powered by Nvidia’s Omniverse. This integration aims to enhance the development and validation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and AV perception systems through high-fidelity sensor simulations.
Ansys is showing the tech — which essentially solves the tough physics calculations in a scene involving multiple moving objects — off at the CES 2024 tech trade show in Las Vegas next week.
The incorporation of Ansys AVxcelerate Sensors into Nvidia Drive Sim provides car makers access to highly accurate sensor simulation outputs. These outputs are instrumental in training and validating perception ADAS/AV systems, ensuring that autonomous vehicles are equipped to navigate roadways safely and reliably, even in critical edge cases.

Engineers working on AV technology face the monumental challenge of ensuring the safety and reliability of sensor suites and software in real-world driving scenarios. Ansys and Nvidia jointly address this challenge by bridging the gap between reality and simulation. The collaboration leverages Ansys’ physics solvers for camera, lidar, radar, and thermal camera sensors within Nvidia Drive Sim’s realistic and scalable 3D environments for scenario generation.
