This module introduces the concept of „Digital First“-Exploration, including SdV prototyping and simulation.
It includes a demo of the open digital.auto Playground platform for rapid SdV prototyping. The in-depth discussion on Experience Simulation and Model-driven Simulation is rounded off by a look at how all these concepts are fitting together.
Mapping to SdV 101 Framework
The following figure is mapping this module to the SdV 101 Framework.
„Digital first“ exploration
SdV and the introduction of two value streams moving at different speed - together with the required vehicle abstraction - are enabling a new, „Digital first“ approach for exploring new features. This is helpful, given that many OEMs don`t know yet exactly how the future digital features will look like, and they require an explorative, customer-centric way of finding out.

Experience Simulation
Experience Simulation can be an important addition to early stage SdV-prototyping, since it helps us to better understand how the new SdV functionality will interact with the vehicle, and how the resulting customer experience will be received.
Model-driven Simulation
Putting everything together
So how are "digital first"-exploration, prototyping, simulation and value stream management fitting together? This lesson is looking at the bigger picture.
