Overview
- A partnership announced Sunday between Applied Intuition and LG Innotek links LG's camera, lidar, and radar hardware with Applied's self-driving software to move prototypes toward production faster.
- LG Innotek will mount its sensing modules on Applied Intuition's reference vehicles operating in the United States, Europe, and Japan to gather performance data in varied traffic, roads, and weather.
- Digital versions of those sensors will plug into Applied Intuition's simulation tools, creating virtual sensors that mimic real devices so engineers can test setups in software before road trials.
- LG Innotek also plans to run autonomous test vehicles in Korea on Applied Intuition's platform to shorten development of new combined camera–lidar–radar solutions.
- Beyond cars, the companies say the same integrated hardware–software model could carry into drones and robotics as they target the wider physical AI market.
