DriveSim-100 (Plus)

Part No.: MP-DriveSim100-Plus
The DriveSim-100 enables real-time control of the Instrument Cluster and Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS), allowing users to monitor actual CAN Bus communication data during driving simulations.

This system helps users gain a thorough understanding of CAN Bus communication architectures and message patterns, enhancing familiarity with in-vehicle communication systems. With its scalable design, the DriveSim-100 is suitable for testing, development, and educational applications, providing a practical and research-oriented simulation platform.
