IPG Automotive has extended its strategic collaboration with Synopsys, expanding joint virtualization solutions to include the latest systems-on-chip (SoC) and domain controllers. The partnership aims to accelerate software-defined vehicle (SDV) development through high-fidelity digital twins and advanced virtual testing. The next phase of development will be presented at CES 2026 (January 6-9).
As SDVs grow in complexity, traditional validation methods such as hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups and physical prototypes are costly and slow. IPG Automotive and Synopsys address these challenges with a fully virtualized workflow that enables rapid, accurate integration and testing of vehicle behaviour, electronics and software long before hardware is available.
