Overview
Applied Intuition is an American company founded in 2017 that sells the software toolchain vehicle manufacturers use to develop, simulate and validate autonomous and assisted driving systems. Its products cover simulation at scale, sensor modelling, data management for the enormous logs a test fleet produces, scenario generation and the vehicle operating system layer underneath, sold to automakers, truck manufacturers, agricultural and construction equipment makers and defence customers. Headquartered in Mountain View, it has expanded into defence autonomy through acquisitions and works with a large share of the world's major vehicle manufacturers.
