As ADAS and autonomous driving programs scale, validation is shifting from road-heavy testing to simulation-first evidence generation. Deontic will show how natural-language requirements, ODD definitions, and regulatory constraints can be transformed into executable OpenSCENARIO/OpenDRIVE scenarios, parameter sweeps, coverage metrics, and traceable test evidence. The session explains why scenario explosion, expanding ODDs, and continuous homologation create a new bottleneck, and how agentic AI can act as a validation intelligence layer inside existing engineering toolchains. Attendees will see how simulation-first workflows help teams close coverage gaps, prioritize regression, and produce regulator-ready evidence for safer, faster autonomy deployment.

• Simulation-first is now mandatory.
• ODD complexity demands scalable validation.
• Requirements must become executable scenarios.
• Agentic AI accelerates coverage and regression.
• Deontic turns simulation into auditable proof.
