2022 NA VI-GRADE ZERO PROTOTYPES SUMMIT

Harman has been a partner for some of the largest OEMs in the world providing digital cockpit solutions and audio solutions based on the OEMs needs. While that is still the case, Harman has also turned its focus toward a philosophy of "Consumer Experiences, Automotive Grade." This puts an emphasis on developing products that excite consumers and provide unique experiences while on the road. In this pursuit, Harman has looked for a partner to help with creating solutions which would allow for ease of software testing, enable improved user research activities, and an ability to efficiently support development activities. After reviewing the capabilities of multiple potential suppliers in key categories, Harman identified that with its hardware and software knowledge, experience in the automotive space, and competitive pricing, VI-grade stood out from other simulation solution suppliers. Using the power of the VI-grade's software solutions to mimic real world data, along with the hardware for real time driving simulation, Harman can quickly take prototype software and test it in a controlled, repeatable environment like it has never been able to before.
