Presentation

Scaling Autonomy Verification with Determinism and Development Traceability

As autonomous systems become increasingly complex, the industry must validate their behaviors with determinism while scaling software development across large teams. This presentation explores two complementary solutions to these challenges: Apex.OS for V&V enables deterministic, high-fidelity recording and fixed-order replay of real-world and simulated data across distributed ECUs. It supports synchronized, reproducible testing integrated with simulators and diagnostics tools—making it ideal for scalable, standards-compliant validation of L2–L5 autonomous systems. Apex.Alan is a scalable software infrastructure solution that unifies fragmented toolchains and automates end-to-end development workflows. It brings structure to variant management, CI/CD, and testing, while embedding traceability, compliance, and quality controls directly into the development process—empowering large teams to move fast without compromising safety or rigor.
