Founded 2017 in Berlin by experts coming directly from within the automotive industry, Automotive Artificial Intelligence (AAI) GmbH is pursuing the mission to develop tools and services for accelerating highly automated driving development. Environment-centric simulation is the biggest opportunity to scale the development and testing activities for autonomous driving. The heartbeat of our simulation are our AI-trained, individual acting traffic agents populating the streets and a naturalistic 3D environment. Combined with state of the art sensor simulation, it is possible to test the boundaries of highly automated and autonomous driving software in a realistic virtual environment. Today a virtual vehicle only needs a few hours to travel the same number of test miles that would take a real-world car more than one month. The precise reproducibility of all incidents, as well as the reduced testing time, are the key advantages for our customers.
