In November 2021, when it announced its last funding round, the company was valued at $3.6 billion. It offers a suite of products aimed at facilitating testing for autonomous vehicles. These include Simian , the company’s core simulator that provides comprehensive scenario coverage for AV development, and Spectral , a platform to train, test and validate perception systems. The company is headquartered in Silicon Valley, and has offices in Los Angeles, Detroit, Washington, D.C., Munich, Stockholm, Seoul and Tokyo. Applied Intuition recently partnered with Ouster, which recently announced it was merging with Velodyne , with the goal of speeding up customer deployment of LiDAR-based perception systems. The partnership will involve the companies collaborating to create, test and release synthetic models of Ouster LiDARs.
