Mac Systems to Exhibit High-Precision Driving Simulator at 'Automotive Engineering Exposition 2026 YOKOHAMA'

## Overview
Mac Systems, a provider of measurement and testing solutions, will exhibit at the 'Automotive Engineering Exposition 2026 YOKOHAMA', taking place over three days from Wednesday, May 27 to Friday, May 29, 2026, at Pacifico Yokohama.

In this exhibition, the company will introduce integrated development solutions utilizing the high-precision driving simulator 'SCANeRstudio'.

## 'End-to-End Development' Required in the SDV Era
In recent years, the automotive industry has faced growing demands for sophisticated control development and evaluation environments due to advancements in ADAS, autonomous driving, EVs, and SDVs. Mac Systems provides 'end-to-end' development support that combines not just driving simulators, but also real vehicle measurement, testing, analysis, and HIL/SIL environments.

## Integrated Development Support
The exhibition booth will showcase the following:
- Control evaluation through integration with HIL/SIL environments
- Integrated utilization with various measurement equipment and test devices
- Linkage with external analysis software (such as LabVIEW)
- Construction of evaluation environments in cooperation with partner companies

Additionally, the company supports actual vehicle evaluation and commissioned testing, establishing a system to assist the evaluation operations at development sites. This reduces the gap between real vehicle testing and virtual environments, realizing both development efficiency and evaluation accuracy.

## Approaching the 'Perception' Domain through Collaboration with NASCAR Driver Takuma Koga
Mac Systems leverages the real-world experience of active NASCAR racing driver Takuma Koga to engage in the following evaluations:
- Driver cognitive characteristics
- Discomfort or peace of mind during operation
- Relationship between control characteristics and human perception

Furthermore, by utilizing knowledge from the North American motorsport domain, the company promotes global-perspective development support for Japanese OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

## Experiential Evaluation Environment with Demo Cockpit
The company has set up a demo room called 'DS room' for high-precision driving simulators, where visitors can experience simulations in a form close to actual evaluation environments using a cockpit configuration equipped with a 6DoF motion system.

This demo cockpit is tuned based on feedback from Takuma Koga, enhancing the reproducibility of driving feel and vehicle behavior from the driver's perspective.
