Publication number: 20240067208Abstract: There is provided a VIL system-based autonomous driving function verification method. According to embodiments of the disclosure, a VIL system enables an autonomous vehicle to verify an autonomous driving function by interlocking with a virtual road environment in any other place, without having to go to a real test road corresponding to a simulated virtual road environment. Accordingly, an autonomous driving function can be rapidly verified based on a VIL system with respect to various virtual road environments without changing a driving place, so that speed and convenience in development of autonomous driving technology can be enhanced.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Young Bo SHIM, Kyoung Won MIN, Haeng Seon SON, Seon Young LEE, Chang Gue PARK
