Trucking autonomy stack utilizes advanced AI algorithms, as well as the purpose-built sensor and compute hardware, to intelligently and safely drive the trucks. The software and hardware powering these autonomous trucks is updated as new technologies emerge.
Engineering teams follow a data-driven development approach, covering both real-world and simulation data. This is enabled by Applied Intuition’s proven suite of simulation, data, and validation tools.
Safety is the foundation of our work together and is kept top of mind at every phase—from initial design to development, validation, and deployment. Rigorous validation processes are used to confirm safety in all aspects of the technology and operations.
Isuzu and Applied Intuition’s engineering teams in three locations—Japan, Michigan, and Silicon Valley—are working closely every day. Regular engineering discussions and training workshops ensure best practices are shared and technical challenges are resolved rapidly.
Using the approach outlined above, the companies have accelerated the development toward Isuzu’s vision of autonomous trucking. This will enable Isuzu to launch and commercialize highway and hub-to-hub transportation in Japan.
Isuzu’s heavy-duty trucks, powered by Applied Intuition’s software, are operating responsibly on public roads in Japan today (with a safety operator). Performance and reliability of both software and hardware systems is continuously evaluated and improved by our engineers.
A core focus of the collaboration has been enabling Isuzu to build lasting in-house expertise in autonomous systems. Isuzu engineers are being trained and are actively contributing to the development by leveraging Applied Intuition’s products.
