ADAS/ADS simulations often struggle to replicate the complexity of real-world traffic, creating a critical safety gap. This session explores bridging this gap using high-quality naturalistic edge cases captured via drones. We demonstrate how ASAM standards (OpenODD, OpenLabel, OpenDRIVE, OpenScenario) enable the seamless integration of these real-world scenarios into companies workflows.
