Applied Intuition technical artists Joey Kowalewicz and Paul Ambrosiussen spoke at EPC 2025. Their session covered how to generate procedural maps from multimodal sensor data, including lidar, camera imagery, and auxiliary metadata. A few top takeaways: ⚡ Gaussian splatting can capture complex scene details by continuously injecting noise and optimizing point attributes to match ground truth images ⚡ With tools like Sensor Sim, we enable safe simulation of complex edge cases - from snowy truck routes to urban pedestrian scenarios - without real-world risks ⚡ The lidar simulation process is highly automated (~90%) and we’re currently working on ML-driven models to cover the remaining 10% Watch the full session: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gTbZigPN #EPC2025 #technicalartist #lidar

Varun for President! We've named Varun Mittal as President of the company 🎉 Varun joined the company in our early days, when our office was a house on Anaheim Terrace in 2017. His impact on the direction and growth of the company has been enormous, and we’re excited to see him step into this new role as we scale globally to deploy vehicle intelligence.

How do you build an intuitive, no-code development tool usable by everyone without compromising advanced capabilities? At Applied Intuition, we rebuilt our scenario editor graphical user interface (GUI) from the ground up to make it accessible to a diverse range of users while remaining adaptable to dynamic data models. Key takeaways:  🛠 Built a protobuf → GUI engine from scratch 🛠 Our build system auto-converts protobuf changes into updated JSONSchemas for the frontend 🛠 The Proto GUI Editor renders dynamic UIs from the GUI Tree — so we can evolve the UX without touching core data logic Don’t miss the full breakdown in our blog post: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gwy7TWN9 And if you’re passionate about making powerful software usable (and beautiful), we’re hiring! #GUI #vehicleintelligence

This month, we hosted Intersect Japan 2025, bringing together engineering and strategy leaders from Isuzu Motors Ltd., Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan Motor Corporation, Honda, and more. Key takeaways from the sessions: 🚙 Automated driving systems must be integrated with urban planning, infrastructure, and remote monitoring to enable scalable deployment (Mr. Sato Hiroshi) 🚙 Scalability demands speed. Rapid decisions and quick catch-up are key to SDV development (Mr. Kazuma Sugimoto) 🚙 In the next 10 years, Level 4 trucks will be operational on major road networks (Mr. Takeru Ito) Thank you to everyone who joined us to talk about the future of autonomy at this event! 🚀 #intersect #event #conference
