Overview

Applied Intuition’s Cloud Engine is a cloud-based simulation platform designed to accelerate the development and testing of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) systems. By leveraging cloud infrastructure, it allows engineering teams to run large-scale, parallel simulations across distributed teams and locations. This cloud-native solution facilitates the rapid testing and validation of complex vehicle software, reducing the reliance on traditional real-world testing, which is often time-consuming and costly. Cloud Engine supports continuous integration workflows, enabling seamless collaboration and efficient test execution, helping automotive manufacturers and developers meet the growing demands of ADAS and AD technologies. The platform integrates seamlessly with various simulation tools and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments, providing flexibility in the testing process. With its focus on scalability, cost-efficiency, and enhanced collaboration, Cloud Engine streamlines the validation process for cutting-edge vehicle technologies, making it a key tool in the modern automotive development cycle.

Features and Capabilities
