AMD incorporated the RFpro AV Elevate simulation platform to hasten the advancement of automated driving technology.

rFpro has announced that Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a global leader in high-performance and adaptive computing solutions, has adopted the rFpro-powered AV elevate™ simulation platform to enhance the development of automated driving technologies. This collaboration allows AMD to utilize AV elevate’s advanced simulation features to fine-tune and test its automated parking systems across thousands of parking scenarios, reducing the need for physical testing.

“AV elevate’s capability to generate precise synthetic training data and rapidly test complex parking scenarios has significantly cut our development time and costs,” said Simon George, Director, Embedded Software – Solutions Engineering at AMD. “The platform enables us to quickly iterate and improve our automated parking systems by testing them against numerous edge cases that would be difficult or impossible to replicate in real-world conditions.”

This announcement follows a successful demonstration of AMD’s automated parking solution at CES 2025, where the company used rFpro’s high-fidelity simulations to showcase its parking assistance systems in a range of virtual scenarios. The demo highlighted the technology’s ability to handle difficult parking situations, such as tight spaces, intricate maneuvers, and varying lighting conditions.

“It’s been exciting to collaborate with AMD, a leader in automated driving and ADAS technologies,” said Matt Daley, Technical Director at rFpro. “AMD’s choice of AV elevate further confirms the platform’s position as the most advanced simulation solution in the autonomous vehicle industry. We’re proud to play a role in accelerating the development of safer, more reliable automated driving systems that will benefit drivers around the world.”

AV elevate is a comprehensive simulation platform that supports the tuning of sensors, training of perception and control algorithms, and testing of the full AV technology stack. It’s recognized as the most advanced tool in the industry for both closed-loop perception testing and generating engineering-grade synthetic training data.

The platform includes high-fidelity sensor models for all major AV sensor types, such as cameras, LiDAR, and radar, and features a robust library of standard sensor models along with digital twins of commercially available sensors.

At the heart of AV elevate is rFpro’s industry-leading, physically modeled virtual environments and ray-tracing rendering technology. Every element in the scene is physically modeled with accurate material properties and a road surface model that’s precise to 1mm, enabling the generation of highly realistic training data.

rFpro’s library of over 180 real-world digital twins offers an exceptionally accurate and varied virtual proving ground. This gives AMD access to a wide range of locations for complex scenarios, including typical underground, urban, and rural parking settings, as well as extensive real-world public roads.
