Challenges

Building reliable autonomous systems for passenger cars demands deep expertise in hardware, software, and validation. As performance expectations for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) rise, automotive OEMs face increasing pressure to deliver competitive features across vehicle lineups.
Urban and highway environments demand human-like judgement to handle corner cases — e.g., predicting intent, interpreting unexpected behavior, and reacting to sudden hazards
Robust perception and decision-making depend on end-to-end models that are trained on vast, diverse data and are built to scale across new cities and driving domains
Black box autonomy systems create vendor lock-in, limiting OEMs’ hardware choices and reducing supply chain agility

Approach

Applied Intuition’s Self-Driving System for Automotive is a scalable end-to-end (E2E) ADAS stack that enables OEMs to accelerate deployment of safe and human-like driving performance — from L2++ features to full E2E experiences, with a pathway to L3 and L4.
E2E approach using the latest neural networks and ML models to deliver driver-grade performance
Comprehensive ADAS feature set, including remote intelligent parking, automatic emergency braking (AEB), advanced urban driving, and highway pilot
Flexible hardware architecture enables cost-effective compute, ECU, and sensor setups to avoid over-sizing and scale across lineups
Designed from the ground up for production with the use of mass-market sensors and embedded compute
Works seamlessly with Applied Intuition tooling for faster verification and validation
