Easyrain, an Italian tech company developing solutions for the ADAS and AV industry, has joined NVIDIA’s Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab for the inspection of Easyrain’s aquaplaning detection virtual sensor part of the DAI (Digital Advanced Information) platform. The announcement was made at the 2025 NVIDIA GTC AI Conference held in Paris, France.
Set to debut on a premium vehicle, that itself will be unveiled in 2026, Easyrain’s DAI platform will offer advanced, low-grip, road detection and vehicle sensing capabilities through software-only virtual sensing. Through this capability, Easyrain is aiming to eliminate the need for additional hardware, while providing OEMs with a cost-effective, scalable, and efficient way to facilitate the rollout of next-gen driver assistance and autonomous driving technologies.
The NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab, accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), more broadly supports automotive ecosystem partners in aligning with evolving safety standards. Here, it inspects and validates that automotive software and systems meet the industry’s most rigorous requirements for functional safety, AI reliability, and cybersecurity in the integration with NVIDIA’s Halos elements.
While detailing its solution, Easyrain said that software technologies capable of detecting low-traction on wet surfaces (like its aquaplaning detection virtual sensor) are essential to ensuring the safe and reliable deployment of Level 3 and higher autonomous driving systems.
