エンド ツー エンドの自動運転ソフトウェアから次世代 HMI システムに至るまで、Applied Intuition は自動車業界における自動運転技術の普及を推進しています。

人とくるまのテクノロジー 2026 横浜にて、弊社ブースにお立ち寄りいただいた皆様、誠にありがとうございました。

From end-to-end autonomy software to next-generation HMI systems, we are scaling autonomy for automotive.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at this year’s Automotive Engineering Exposition at the Yokohama Expo.

Can VLA models for autonomous driving perform without depending on complex reasoning or massive datasets?

Our new approach, NoRD (No Reasoning Driving), proves you don’t need massive datasets or heavy reasoning for high performance.

➡️ 60% reduction in training data
➡️ 3x token efficiency
➡️ Competitive benchmark results

By eliminating the reasoning overhead, NoRD creates a recipe for high-performance autonomous driving that is not only cheaper to train but also faster to develop and deploy.

When I joined @AppliedInt, back in early 2019, it was just a handful of engineers working above a bar in Sunnyvale. The website didn’t really tell you what we were. We just wanted to build amazing products for the real world, from fighter jets to hundred ton trucks to autonomous vehicles.

But we’ve always been really paranoid about losing the special culture we built in the early days to the monotony of corporate scale. Somehow, even as we’ve grown into a thousand+ person company, a lot has stayed the same since (like being in the Manhattan of the Bay, Sunnyvale). And of course, we’re still building amazing products.

Continuing from my prior video, we captured the culture that pulled me in all those years ago and how we’ve protected it as we’ve grown in this @firstround Review. These are all questions I’ve been asked about in the last few years from founders of all company sizes so might as well put it in one place.

P.S. At the minimum, there’s some awesome photos inside so take a look :)

Our team is heading to Denver for #CVPR2026 to share the work we are doing to build the future of physical AI.

From research to build, come see how we are translating cutting-edge CV into real-world impact.

📍 Find our team of researchers and engineers at Booth #639.

[Applied Intuition @AppliedInt]

Current world models often separate spatial reasoning from temporal modeling, leading to consistency bottlenecks and scaling limits. We developed RAYNOVA, a 4D world foundation model, to address this by unifying space and time into a single representation via a pure auto-regressive framework.

The result: Data-driven high-fidelity simulation data that scales across any vehicles, anywhere.

自動車業界は今、AI ディファインド ビークルの新たな時代へと急速に進化しています。

今回 Applied Intuition チームは人とくるまのテクノロジー展 2026 横浜で、自動運転の開発・検証、次世代HMI、ビークル インテリジェンスなど、未来のモビリティを支えるソフトウェアと AI 技術についてご紹介します。

ぜひ弊社ブース（ノース会場 N72）へお立ち寄りいただき、自動車開発の未来をご覧ください。

We are moving rapidly toward an AI-defined automotive industry.

Join us at the Yokohama Expo to explore how AI is transforming the way vehicles are developed, tested, and deployed. From end-to-end autonomy software to next-generation HMI systems, we are bringing physical AI to the forefront of core vehicle systems.

[Applied Intuition @AppliedInt]

Gearheads to the front.

At Applied Intuition, our passion for autonomy and vehicle software comes from a deep love for the hardware. We’re a team of engineers, track-day regulars, and garage tinkerers who who enjoy getting under the hood.

Check out a few of the builds, daily drivers, and project cars our team brought out for our recent Cars & Coffee at HQ.

[Applied Intuition @AppliedInt]

The future of AI-defined vehicles is simplified scalability.

We’re expanding our partnership with @Stellantis to integrate our Vehicle OS into STLA Brain. OEMs will no longer need to rebuild the software stack from scratch for every new vehicle.

Our partnership is accelerating the road to autonomy:

➡️ Unified stack: Seamless experiences across body, ADAS, and infotainment
➡️ Continuous evolution: Robust OTA updates + autonomous parking and trailering
➡️ Silicon Valley speed: Cutting dev timelines by 50%+ (from 4 years to under 2)

The result? Vehicles that actually get smarter after they leave the factory floor.

The future isn’t individual features. It’s the platform.

Applied Intuition x @Stellantis —expanded.

Our Vehicle OS and autonomy infrastructure will now be integrated into Stellantis's next-gen STLA Brain platform, powering multiple brands across their global portfolio.

One unified, AI-defined foundation built to scale, with faster development cycles, faster time to market, and continuous feature deployment across the vehicle lifecycle.

The average American farmer is 58 years old.

As the labor gap grows, our demand for food continues to increase. We don't just need more labor, we need intelligent machines that can scale operations.

[Applied Intuition @AppliedInt]

Accelerating America’s Autonomy Industrial Base.

Applied Intuition has been selected by the @CDAODoW to build the digital infrastructure for Autonomy Factory.

With Autonomy Factory operating on our Axion toolchain and data engine, military branches and program offices will have the technology needed to accelerate the integration, testing, and fielding of autonomous defense systems.

The future of autonomous driving is now software-defined and globally standardized.

The @UNECE's new framework reflects the same safety-case methodology powering our autonomy stack. By leveraging billions of simulated miles and rigorous edge-case validation, we enable OEMs to deliver the traceable safety evidence now required for global scale.
