Applied Intuition is a technology company providing simulation and infrastructure tooling for autonomous vehicle development.[1] The company is based in Silicon Valley, California, United States, with offices in Detroit, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Seoul, and Munich.[1][2][3] The company's simulation software is used to test how autonomous vehicles would respond to a variety of conditions and scenarios in a virtual world, and test their safety, comfort, and performance.[4] Their software allows autonomous driving companies to test their algorithms in scenarios with varying conditions (e.g., traffic, weather, and road conditions) before the software is deployed to the real world.[1] The software is used to analyze data and algorithms used in autonomous cars, vans, and delivery trucks that handle perception, prediction, planning, and vehicle control.[5]
History
Applied Intuition was founded by Qasar Younis and Peter Ludwig in 2017. Their employees include former employees from technology companies and automotive OEMs such as Waymo, Tesla, and Apple.[6]
