"Hardware-in-the-Loop" (HIL) is a stimulation-based technique used to speed up the debugging phase of electronic devices. This technique is reserved for computers or smartphones, it stimulates the product’s behaviors under different conditions.
The HIL technique used in electronic devices smooths their acceleration. Vigna stated that “we have also adopted it for cars." According to Vigna, with this new approach, Ferrari has resolved the issues they were facing during the final stages of the development of their hybrid models.
The Italian luxury carmaker is all set to reveal the upcoming Ferrari EV on its planned timeline. With the new assembly facility, the ‘e-building,’ located in Maranello, is scheduled to be completed by June 2024. The company is achieving its target for vehicle development and infrastructure.
