Tencent releases new simulation platform for autonomous driving

Abstract : China's tech giant Tencent has released TAD Sim 2.0, the new generation of its autonomous-driving simulation platform, to improve the development and testing efficiency of autonomous driving.

BEIJING, June 28 (Xinhua) — China’s tech giant Tencent has released
TAD Sim 2.0, the new generation of its autonomous-driving simulation
platform, to improve the development and testing efficiency of
autonomous driving.

Simulation has been widely used in self-driving technology
development and urban smart-transportation management. Tencent’s new
platform, driven by both real data and gaming technology, has a built-in
centimeter-level digital map, as well as dynamic and static
environments for autonomous driving testing.

Compared with the previous generation, TAD Sim 2.0 fills the gap
between road test data and virtual scenarios. With higher resolution in
3D scenario reconstruction and sensor simulation, the platform can make
the simulation closer to reality.

A huge variety of environments, weather conditions and even extreme
traffic conditions can be generated by combining road test data and
virtual scenarios to fulfill the needs of autonomous driving testing in
TAD Sim 2.0.

According to Tencent, TAD Sim 2.0’s cloud version is able to run more than 10 million kilometers per day. Enditem
