"We are thrilled to partner with Siemens to provide these important virtual technologies which play a critical role in developing an integrated toolchain for testing and validation," said John Maddox, ACM President and CEO. "This is extremely important to help us enable the development of validation methodologies and regulations for the safe deployment of these technologies on public roads."

"Our unique and complete representation of the digital twin integrates electronics, software and hardware based systems. Because we cover all three of these disciplines in our digital twin, we can use these twins to run accurate simulations of the complex vehicle behavior found in autonomous vehicle systems," said Tony Hemmelgarn, CEO of Siemens PLM Software.

"A one-of-a-kind facility like ACM where we can reliably, and safely push the boundaries of today's technologies provides a unique advantage to our business and our automotive customers," stated Jan van den Oetelaar, CEO of TASS International.
