The increasing complexity of AD functions, paired with disparate tooling, can lead to a slow and costly development process. Applied Intuition and Audi's partnership solves this challenge by extending Applied Intuition's industry-leading end-to-end simulation and data management solutions with specialized applications co-developed by both companies. The resulting unified framework utilizes Audi's scenario-based systems engineering experience and Applied Intuition's software-engineering expertise to create a differentiated AD release and lifecycle management solution that meets current and future regulatory requirements. Other automotive equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can use this framework in the future.
"The expertise of both Applied Intuition and Audi creates a mutual benefit to deliver high-quality automated functions across the globe, no matter which AD stack we are bringing to our customers," said Dr.-Ing. Gero Kempf, Executive Vice President for ADAS/AD in the Engineering Department at AUDI AG. "In compliance with AD regulations, Applied Intuition's solution allows us to highly automate our scenario-based, data-driven engineering workflows and adapt jointly developed applications as white-box solutions for the overall management of high-performance, safety-critical AD systems."
"Applied Intuition and Audi's joint solution is critical to ensuring AD software safety," said Qasar Younis, Co-Founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. "With unified applications, a data-driven approach, automated testing, and cloud-based collaboration, our unified framework allows Audi to validate, certify, and bring next-generation AD systems to market faster."
The framework will set a new benchmark for the safe validation and deployment of AD functions. Applied Intuition and Audi plan to roll out new functionalities over the course of their partnership.
