HCLTech has launched an AI-powered Verification and Validation (V&V) offering for the automotive sector, in collaboration with NVIDIA. This new solution aims to automate software validation for software-defined vehicles by leveraging NVIDIA’s simulation stack, agentic AI, and open model strategy. The offering targets automotive manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers, promising to accelerate release cycles and improve test coverage.
HCLTech Partners with NVIDIA for Automotive AI Solution
NOIDA, India, October 21, 2026 – HCLTech, a leading global technology company, today announced the launch of its new AI-powered Verification and Validation (V&V) offering for the automotive industry. This innovative solution is powered by NVIDIA’s advanced simulation stack, agentic capabilities, and an open model strategy. Designed for automotive vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers, the offering integrates agentic AI, physical AI-powered simulation, and intelligent orchestration to automate critical aspects of vehicle software validation workflows, thereby accelerating product releases.
Addressing Modern Vehicle Complexity
As vehicles become increasingly software-defined, the complexity of verification and validation processes is escalating due to over-the-air updates and evolving regulatory frameworks. Automotive organizations often grapple with fragmented tool chains, manual workflows, and labor-intensive compliance processes, creating bottlenecks. HCLTech’s V&V for Auto aims to address these challenges by employing a simulation-first operating model. This model connects requirements, test creation, execution, analysis, and compliance evidence throughout the validation lifecycle, enabling customers to automate workflows, expand scenario coverage, and identify test failures more rapidly.
Leveraging NVIDIA Technologies
The new offering synergizes HCLTech’s automotive engineering expertise and its Validation Factory model with NVIDIA’s comprehensive technology stack, including NVIDIA Omniverse, NVIDIA Cosmos, NVIDIA Alpamayo, NVIDIA Omniverse NuRec, and NVIDIA Isaac Sim. This powerful combination enables the generation and validation of a wide array of scenarios in virtual environments, including rare and safety-critical conditions. By reducing reliance on physical testing, the solution enhances test coverage and provides greater visibility into release readiness. Furthermore, it utilizes the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit and NVIDIA Nemotron open models to orchestrate multiple AI agents with reasoning capabilities across the V&V lifecycle.
Industry Impact and Quotes
“Automotive software is evolving faster than traditional validation processes were designed to handle,” stated Pankaj Tagra, Chief Growth Officer and Global Head, Mobility at HCLTech. “Powered by NVIDIA, HCLTech’s V&V for Auto is designed to help organizations shift from periodic, labor-intensive testing to continuous, intelligent validation, using simulation and AI to make software release decisions with greater speed and confidence.”
Dr. Sebastian Scheurle, EMEA Industry Lead Automotive Enterprise, at NVIDIA, added, “Validation now sets the pace for software-defined vehicles. With NVIDIA Omniverse, Cosmos and Nemotron at its core, this solution leverages world-class simulation and AI capabilities to support automakers in their journey towards moving more testing into simulation, covering rare and safety-critical scenarios earlier and releasing software with greater confidence.”
