Applied Intuition, an automotive software supplier, and Luminar, an automotive technology company, announced a partnership to accelerate the development and application of advanced driving assistance (ADAS) and automatic driving (AD) systems for automakers.
As a first step in the partnership, the two companies will work together to provide the first validated Luminar lidar sensor model, enabling automakers to test and verify ADAS and AD sensing systems using the integrated sensor model of the physics-based sensor simulator Applied Intuition Sensor Sim and Luminar lidar.
Luminar, lidar sensors and software play a vital role in the security and performance of ADAS and AD, but testing and verifying sensing systems in the real world can be time-consuming, costly and dangerous.
Studies have shown that fully autonomous systems need to travel millions of miles in the real world to prove their safety.
If 90% of perceptual development and testing in the real world could be done through simulation, automakers could save millions of dollars a year.
With the joint solution of Applied Intuition and Luminar, automakers will be able to accurately test lidar-based sensing systems in virtual environments while reducing test costs and accelerating time-to-market.
