What role does cloud integration play in updating and maintaining vehicle software?

Cloud integration is crucial for the continuous improvement and maintenance of vehicle software. It allows for secure over-the-air software updates and patches, ensuring that ADAS and AD systems are always equipped with the latest algorithms and safety features. Additionally, cloud integration supports the management of data logs and performance metrics, enabling remote diagnostics and optimizations that enhance system reliability and efficiency.

Can Applied Intuition's Self-Driving System for Automotive be integrated with existing vehicle systems?

Yes, SDS for Automotive is designed for flexibility and can be integrated seamlessly with existing vehicle systems. Its modular architecture allows for customization to meet specific operational requirements, and it integrates deeply with vehicle architecture, including Vehicle OS and infotainment, enabling real-time HMI visualization across the stack. SDS for Automotive also integrates seamlessly with Applied Intuition's industry-leading tooling to streamline validation and accelerate development timelines.

What is an autonomy stack for passenger cars?

An autonomy stack for passenger cars consists of layered software components that handle perception, decision-making, planning, and vehicle control. These systems support features ranging from driver assistance—like lane centering, adaptive cruise control, and traffic jam assist—to more advanced capabilities that require limited to no driver intervention. The stack is a critical part of developing and scaling ADAS and autonomy features across modern vehicles.

Using simulation to drive Toyota’s automated driving system development process

Some FAQs

About.

The Woven Planet Group was formed in January 2021 to expand and improve operations of Toyota Research Institute - Advanced Development (TRI-AD) for the purpose of developing innovative products that will enable its vision, “Mobility to Love, Safety to Live.” It also oversees Woven City, which will serve as an incubator for smart city design, connected mobility, and robotics technology from Toyota and its partners.

Goals

Woven Planet Group is at the forefront of automated driving vehicle development, incorporating the latest trends and technology into its development process. It focuses on developing algorithms that aim to deliver the world’s most secure, comfortable, and, above all, the safest mobility experience.

To accelerate the deployment of automated driving experiences in Toyota’s models, the team is focusing on the following key areas.

Automated driving control algorithm development

Develop algorithms capable of safely navigating through traffic-heavy highways.

Safety and functional safety testing

Ensure compliance with ISO 26262 etc., and that system/component failures are properly addressed.

Expanding coverage to test edge cases

Verify a perception module in various synthetic 3D environments that are difficult to reproduce on expressways and other motor-vehicle-only roadways.

A scalable approach

Test tens of thousands of scenarios concurrently to speed up the development cycle.

“End-to-end validation of a vast array of real-world scenarios is critical to ensure the safety of our customers. Our automated driving software is increasingly more complex, and we need powerful and scalable simulation environments to efficiently and comprehensively verify the system. ‍ Applied Intuition has provided us with an easy-to-use tool, and we will continue to rely on them to speed up our development cycle.”

Kenichiro Aoki Staff Engineer, Teammate Features Development Team

Approach

Woven Planet Group has partnered with Applied Intuition to test its self-driving system end-to-end under a vast number of scenarios quickly, safely, and comprehensively.

Automotive-grade simulation engine

Applied Intuition’s software is used in Woven Planet Group’s extensive testing process and informs Woven Planet Group’s development decisions.

End-to-end system testing

Applied Intuition’s simulation tools enable the end-to-end verification of complex systems, including the perception module. Continuous integration (CI) environments of such systems are also created.

Seamless integration

Integration was customized to meet Woven Planet Group’s requirements (e.g., support for vehicle dynamics model integration).

Large-scale simulations in the cloud

An environment to test large-scale scenarios in the cloud in a parallel state was established.

Evaluation under a wide range of edge cases

Synthetic data enables the scalable generation and verification of situations by changing parameters such as weather, fog, time of day, and visibility.

Testing the perception module using synthetic data

Sensors such as Toyota’s proprietary cameras are modeled accurately; virtual 3D environments specific to Woven Planet Group’s operational design domains (ODDs) are generated procedurally to test Woven Planet Group’s perception stack without driving on roads.

“Applied Intuition’s tools combine the ease of scenario creation and scalability. They also have the flexibility to add features such as those for sensor model implementation. We feel supported by the Applied Intuition team’s proactiveness in addressing our technically challenging requests.”

Tadashi Okubo, Senior Engineer - Teammate Features Development Team

Impact

Shorter development cycle

Woven Planet Group has gained abilities to build software in a virtual environment and test their system end-to-end, leading to a shorter development cycle.

High-quality software

Woven Planet Group can now develop high-quality software without re-work as a result of focusing on the CI environment and creating an environment that tests software regressions constantly.

Scalable comprehensive testing

Comprehensive tests are completed more quickly because simulations have scaled Woven Planet’s autonomous vehicle verification process.
