ar manufacturers can drastically reduce the time needed to train their vehicles by having the tests run in Virtual Reality: in this way, instead of driving for thousands of real kilometers, the tests are carried out in virtual environments, allowing the software to learn faster and the manufacturer to cut costs for fuel and repairs.
Plus, if the road tests of self-driving cars cannot be performed without a person on board, in the tests with Virtual Reality the presence of a human being is not necessary.
As we have seen, Virtual Reality helps automotive brands reduce time-to-market and vehicle design costs. Used for staff training, it accelerates training and makes it more effective, increasing productivity and safety.
In addition, dealers can increase sales by offering a pivotal service: that of allowing customers to customize their dream car and test it safely. Virtual Reality can also reduce time-to-market for self-driving cars, speeding up tests on safety systems.
All of this testifies how technological advances are a real revolution for the automotive industry. Massive investments in technologies such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence and IoT are projecting the big brands of the automotive sector in a future that cannot be postponed.
