About us

Software and artificial intelligence are rapidly transforming the development of next-generation vehicles. Applied Intuition’s software solutions help automakers, Tier 1 suppliers, and companies across the trucking, construction, and agriculture industries navigate this transition and bring software-defined vehicles to market safely.

Our mission

Applied Intuition’s mission is to accelerate the world’s adoption of safe and intelligent machines. If we do our work correctly, we will save lives. Our mission applies to the automotive industry, but it is much broader than that. Everything that moves—from trucks to construction equipment and military vehicles—will move autonomously one day.
