Description
Christoph Loytved, product manager from COMPREDICT, describes their innovative virtual sensor technology. Virtual sensors can offer cost reduction and system optimization by using existing data from the vehicle to derive data points instead of needing a dedicated hardware sensor. Christoph describes a number of example applications of virtual sensors and COMPREDICT's progress with investors and commercial adoption. Virtual sensors are an ideal application of the flexibility that software-defined vehicles provide. This episode was recorded live at AutoTech in Novi, Michigan, in June 2025
