Applied Intuition and LG Innotek partner to build better autonomous vehicle systems

On March 29, 2026, Applied Intuition and LG Innotek announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of autonomous vehicle (AV) systems.

By combining Applied Intuition's software platform with LG Innotek's high-performance sensors, the companies aim to help automakers bring self-driving cars to production faster.

A key feature of this collaboration is the use of digital twins—virtual replicas of sensors—integrated into simulation environments.

Furthermore, the partnership employs a hardware-in-the-loop strategy, where real-world data from test fleets helps refine both hardware and software simultaneously.

Beyond the automotive sector, both companies plan to explore applications in drones and robotics, signaling a major push into the era of physical AI.

This partnership marks a significant step for LG Innotek, as it shifts from a traditional hardware supplier to a provider of integrated mobility solutions, while solidifying Applied Intuition's role in guiding the industry toward scalable, production-ready autonomous technology.
