    Applied Intuition is an American software company based in Sunnyvale, California that develops simulation, testing, and development tools for autonomous vehicles (AVs) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).[2] [1] Founded in 2017, the company's software is used by automakers and other manufacturers to develop and test autonomous systems for passenger cars, trucks, and industrial and defense vehicles.[2] [1]

    History

    [edit ]

    Applied Intuition was co-founded in 2017 by Qasar Younis and Peter Ludwig.[1] Younis, who emigrated from Pakistan as a child and grew up in the Detroit area, studied engineering at Kettering University, later worked at Bosch in Japan, and founded startups including TalkBin, which Google acquired in 2011; he subsequently served as chief operating officer at Y Combinator and as a group product manager at Google.[3] [1] Ludwig also grew up near Detroit and worked as a product manager on Google's Maps team, where the two first worked together. The founders started the company to provide simulation and software tools for automakers developing self-driving systems.[1]

    The company's early products included a motion simulator and related software that allow AV developers to test systems in simulation rather than only on public roads. Early customers included the robotaxi startup Voyage and the autonomous-trucking company Kodiak, with later customers including General Motors and Toyota.[1]

    Applied Intuition raised 40ドル million in 2019.[4] In March 2024, it raised 250ドル million in a round that valued the company at about 6ドル billion.[2] In June 2025, a 600ドル million Series F round and tender offer valued the company at 15ドル billion.[5]

    Acquisitions

    [edit ]

    In 2022, Applied Intuition acquired Mechanical Simulation Corporation, the maker of CarSim, software used by automakers to simulate vehicle dynamics.[6] In 2023, it acquired the autonomous-trucking company Embark Trucks for approximately 71ドル million.[7]
