Episode 93 - Test Tracks of Reality: Applied Intuition and the Simulated Road, Warehouse and Port

What if you could test hundreds of thousands of traffic and road scenarios before your autonomous vehicles ever even touched asphalt? Imagine billions of miles and an untold number of road events encountered in the virtual world before your car or truck even left the factory floor.  

Talk about a head start when it comes to safety and efficiency.

Using a comprehensive suite of products created from the best practices in software development, the minds at Applied Intuition work with clients to design virtual test environments that simulate everything the road can throw at them. They are creating a world where software-enabled vehicles are an integral part of society across all industries where there are vehicles – roads, yes, but also factories and ports as well.

In this episode of SAE Tomorrow Today, Qasar Younis, Co-Founder and CEO, and Peter Ludwig, Co-Founder and CTO of Applied Intuition, discussed how they’re combining Detroit engineering know-how with Silicon Valley digital ingenuity to design differentiated solutions for customers such as VW, GM and Toyota, enabling game-changing AV development with speed and scale.
