Safety is the most critical element of automated driving — check out our aiDrive safety report which was recently revised to provide a deeper understanding of the wide range of processes we use to ensure safe testing and operation of our solutions. Safety in the automotive industry As the automotive industry improved with technological advancements…

The world’s first ISO26262 certified virtual validation suite, aiSim, has integrated ROS2, making it instantly compatible with one of the most popular prototyping frameworks for advanced driver-assistance systems and automated driving solutions. Written by: Dávid Rejzinger What is the ROS ecosystem? ROS stands for Robot Operating System, an open-source framework containing a standardized collection of…

aiMotive is on a mission to bring affordable automated driving to all. As part of developing industry-leading solutions to overcome the challenges of automated driving, we’ve taken another significant step towards becoming a trusted automotive supplier. …

A 2020 survey showed that most respondents would be more comfortable letting a robot perform surgery on them than sitting in a car with autonomous tech in it. Would you? Written by: Bence Boda We recently published a blog post about our ultimate goal: to help save some of the…

aiSim started development on the premise that extensive testing is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of any Automated Driving product. aiSim not only simulates the model space but also generates accurate virtual sensor data (including camera images) as well. …

Technology leadership claims can often be “economical” with the truth, and this is particularly true for NPUs (Neural Processor Units). However, over-stated performance can lead to procurement decisions that fall short of expectations. Written by Tony King-Smith The result is engineering targets missed, deadlines not met, and R&D costs escalating. For its aiWare NPU…

Simulating the sensor modalities used in automated driving efficiently and accurately is an immense challenge. The best solutions is to rely on GPU-accelerated raytracing techniques and the efficient distribution of tasks. Today, the Vulkan API is the only tool that can support such a system — that’s why we’ve integrated it into aiSim. — Written by Balázs Teréki Seven years ago, our team set out on a mission to create the world’s first ISO26262 certified automotive-grade simulator for automated driving development. This was when the first versions of aiSim were born, but creating a simulator capable of supporting automotive development was challenging.

In 2020 AImotive’s aiSim™ simulator was certified to TCL 3 according to ISO 26262:2018 by TÜV-Nord. This made it the world’s first ISO26262-certified comprehensive automated driving simulator for the development of automated driving solutions. Let’s go a layer deeper and see what’s under the hood: what makes aiSim’s rendering engine special and unique. — Written by: Zoltán Hortsin Game engines vs sensor simulation — Why “physically-based” is our motto?

Written by László Kishonti, CEO & Founder Is the future electric, self-driving or both? The answer is complex and influenced just as much by long-term industry trends, regulation and consumer demands, as how quickly the technology develops. Let’s take a closer look. There are many challenges in developing self-driving cars…
