Moreover, safety standards such as SOTIF (ISO 21448) and legal regulations give driving simulation a key role for the safety validation of automated driving functions by OEMs and Tier-1s as well as independent or governmental institutions. Even as new standards for driving simulation languages come into use, this gives rise to the need for translation tools between different driving simulator languages. Two major challenges in this context for translation tools are hitherto not well addressed: 1. Adaptability to new languages or versions thereof. 2. Correctness of translation. We elaborate on some of the central challenges in this regard, present a prototype of a retargetable translator for driving simulation languages, and a suiting translation semantics, as first cornerstones of a future approach to validate or verify translations.enDriving SimulationFormal SemanticsAutomated DrivingSOTIFText/Conference Paper10.18420/se2022-ws-10
