Ambarella, Inc. and Applied Intuition at CES 2023 announced a partnership to offer a joint ADAS and AV development solution based on Ambarella's CV3-AD PCIe hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) card and Applied's simulation software.
Testing with real electronic control units (ECUs) is often costly and time-consuming, requiring special HIL rigs and a dedicated lab. This delays software testing and slows down development cycles. Ambarella and Applied's joint solution enables customers to run Applied-powered simulations directly on a CV3-AD system-on-chip (SoC) without waiting for an ECU to become available. Customers can simply install the CV3-AD PCIe card directly into their development desktop or server infrastructure and conduct HIL testing without an ECU. This makes HIL testing faster, less expensive and far more scalable than previously possible. With 17 of the top 20 global automotive OEMs relying on Applied's solutions to develop, test and deploy autonomous systems at scale, the company has vast experience in the ADAS and AV industry, as well as other domains such as trucking, construction and agriculture. Beyond simulation, Applied's robust suite of software solutions includes products such as Applied Test Suites and Synthetic Datasets, which customers can use with the CV3-AD.
