Abstract
A computer-implemented method for evaluating electronic control units within vehicle emulations may include (1) connecting an actual electronic control unit for a vehicle to a vehicle bus that emulates network traffic rather than actual network traffic generated by operation of the vehicle, (2) manipulating input to the actual electronic control unit to test how safely the actual electronic control unit and the emulated electronic control unit respond to the manipulated input, (3) detecting an output from the actual electronic control unit that indicates a response, from the actual electronic control unit, to manipulating the input, and (4) evaluating a safety level of at least one of the actual electronic control unit and the emulated electronic control unit based on detecting the output from the actual electronic control unit. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
