VAIVA Insights

An integral part of the new Vehicle Tech Week, Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo, Europe returns to Stuttgart, Germany, on June 23–25, 2026, bringing together the latest autonomous and ADAS technologies, development tools, and next-generation mobility solutions. For VAIVA, this is one of the most important events of 2026. Matthias Haringer, our Principal Virtual Development lead, will share the latest information on ICASIS, the platform we are establishing as a reference for in-cabin simulation. We will also have a booth there and many great colleagues on-site. Stop by to get all the details, use cases, and roadmap updates.

InCabin.Sensing brings together over 400 of the most influential practitioners, technical and HMI experts, OEMs, Tier 1s, and research institutes to discuss the latest technical advancements, market trends, and opportunities. VAIVA will showcase ICASIS feature updates, as well as a sneak peek into what is next on the roadmap. Drop by and connect with Florian to learn more about our In-Cabin simulation platform. 

The complete catalog of Euro NCAP scenarios relevant to DMS (Driver Monitoring Systems) is now available in ICASIS. This enables customers to automatically generate all relevant scenarios and conduct their validations in a structured manner, aligned with standard NCAP requirements. This represents a crucial step toward ensuring the comparability and traceability of results. For ICASIS, this marks a significant milestone and sends a strong signal regarding our goal to become the benchmark platform for interior simulation across the entire market.

With the “One Team” SDV project a new phase of cooperation began for VAIVA and our customer, a large OEM. The goal: to take the development of the next generation of driver assistance and safety functions within the software defined vehicle (SDV) to a new level. All for efficient, integrated functions that are consistently geared towards series production. The transition to SDVs creates a completely new development logic. Vehicle functions are developed holistically, comprehensively and scalably on several platforms. At the same time, complexity is growing dramatically, especially in the safety-critical areas of Active Safety and Assisted Parking. VAIVA acts as an integral part of the customers’ engineering factory structure. Pilot functions in our responsibility are “Evasive Assistance” and the “Rear Emergency Braking”. In parallel we act as strong interface to development partners.
