🚗 Introducing the Self-Driving System for Automotive
Bringing intelligence to every moving machine.
Welcome back to the Nexus Newsletter, Applied Intuition’s newsletter covering the latest in commercial and defense autonomy, AI, and vehicle intelligence.
We just unveiled our end-to-end (E2E) white box autonomy stack solution for passenger vehicles: the Self-Driving System, or SDS, for Automotive.
Applied Intuition has powered autonomy in the most demanding domains — defense, trucking, mining, and construction — and now we’re bringing our autonomy to passenger vehicles.
Why now? The bar for autonomy has never been higher. Leading domestic and global OEMs have set new benchmarks for E2E driver assistance. Consumer expectations are shifting fast. Safety standards are tightening. Automakers are under pressure to compete and to win.
Applied Intuition’s answer is SDS for Automotive: a production-ready, E2E advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) platform designed from the ground up to deliver safe, human-like driving performance today. SDS for Automotive delivers L2++ driver assistant features with a pathway to L3 and L4 capabilities, and puts power in the hands of OEMs.
What is L2++? The most advanced form of L2. L2++ can navigate complex and busy urban roads, highways, ramps, and includes remote parking and summoning, all with a driver still in control.
What SDS for Automotive delivers:
E2E development and validation toolchain
A white box collaboration model that includes the ability to customize and build in-house expertise
Real-world affordability
The ability to integrate easily into vehicle systems leveraging Applied Intuition’s Vehicle OS experience
Our CEO and co-founder Qasar Younis joined CNBC’s Morgan Brennan on Closing Bell: Overtime to talk SDS for Automotive:
The car of the future won’t just drive. It will think. And the defining advantage will be vehicle intelligence. SDS for Automotive is how OEMs will get there. Learn more at applied.co/sds.
