1 WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? WORST CASE... HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? HOW DOES CURRENT TESTING / VERIFICATION / VALIDATION COVER ALL POSSIBLE OPERATING AND USAGE CONDITIONS? HAS THE COMPLEXITY OF THE VEHICLE SYSTEMS BEEN CONSIDERED (PHEV/HEV, Driver Assist, Chassis Controls)? IS THAT COMPLEXITY REFLECTED IN POWERTRAIN TESTING? Recall actions in US market (2012-2013) increase from 15.5 to 20.5 Mio. CAM DO (Center TRADITIONAL of Automotive Management), USAGE March 2014 PROFILES / TEST CYCLES COVER ALL OPERATION CONDITIONS? General Motor s recalled 29 Mio. Vehicles in the first half of 2014 FORTUNE Magazine, August 15, 2014 WHAT IS THE TEST COVERAGE AND IS IT REPRESENTATIVE? HOW ARE AUTOMOTIVE STANDARD CONSIDERED (ISO 26262)? F. Illmeier / Engineering and Technology Powertrain Systems 4
1 WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Test Mileage: 2007: 24 Million km 2009: 36 Million km März 2009 2020: 250 Million km The biggest hurdle is validation to confirm that the system does not cause failures. One??? has to execute 250 million test kilometers states the Bosch executive director.
