The ASAM standardization work group finishes multiple cross-test events to ensure interoperability of commercial test tools based upon the ASAM Generic Simulator Interface (ASAM Standard)XIL 2.0.1 A public specification, which has been developed by experts in a defined consensus-driven development process and was released by officials that represent a significant share of the industry for which it is targeted, giving the specification the necessary legitimacy to be called a 'Standard'.standard, effectively enabling engineers in the automotive industry to choose and easily integrate best-in-class ECU testing tools for their application scenarios.

The European-based standardization organization ASAM e.V. and the US-based organization Society of Automotive EngineersSAE International have agreed to enter a Cooperative Partnership. Main goal of this partnership is to better serve the needs of their members, to avoid duplicative standardization, and to promote standardization globally.

ASAM hosted an international conference on test and development processes for autonomous driving. More than 200 experts and managers discussed how to master the challenges that future versions of Advanced Driver-Assistance SystemsADAS and autonomous driving systems may pose. The collaboration with the Saxon State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport made it possible to bring industry, research and public institutions together to share their ideas and experience.

After recent allegations against German car manufacturers, ASAM would like to state how standardization and information sharing is handled within the ASAM setting. Therefore, ASAM has drafted an ASAM Compliance Statement.
