HBK reports on the UK Smart Prototypes Summit
HBK, VI-grade and HORIBA MIRA brought together automotive engineers to connect simulation, physical testing and engineering data.
On 21 October 2026, HBK, VI-grade and HORIBA MIRA held the UK Smart Prototypes Summit in the United Kingdom. HBK reports that more than 90 automotive professionals attended. Presentations and demonstrations explored the connection between simulation, physical testing and engineering data.
The central theme was using measurement and test data to improve correlation between computational models and real vehicle behaviour, while reducing physical-prototype test iterations. This is a report on a manufacturer event, rather than a new product announcement.
