About NVIDIA DRIVE
Software is what turns a vehicle into an intelligent machine. The NVIDIA DRIVE™ Software stack is open, empowering developers to efficiently build and deploy a variety of state-of-the-art AV applications, including perception, localization and mapping, planning and control, driver monitoring, and natural language processing. The foundation of the DRIVE Software stack, DRIVE OS is the first safe operating system for accelerated computing. It includes NvMedia for sensor input processing, NVIDIA CUDA® libraries for efficient parallel computing implementations, NVIDIA TensorRT™ for real-time AI inference, and other developer tools and modules to access hardware engines. The NVIDIA DriveWorks® SDK provides middleware functions on top of DRIVE OS that are fundamental to autonomous vehicle development. These consist of the sensor abstraction layer (SAL) and sensor plugins, data recorder, vehicle I/O support, and a deep neural network (DNN) framework.

Helm.ai
We license AI software throughout the L2-L4 autonomous driving stack, perception, intent modeling, path planning, and vehicle control. Highest accuracy perception and intent prediction, leading to safer autonomous driving systems. Unsupervised learning and mathematical modeling, instead of supervised learning, allow learning from huge datasets. Our technologies are up to several orders of magnitude more capital-efficient, enabling much lower cost of development. Helm.ai full scene vision-based semantic segmentation fused with Lidar SLAM output from Ouster. L2+ autonomous driving with Helm.ai across highways 280 to 92 to 101, lane-keeping + ACC lane changes.

Applied Intuition Vehicle OS
Applied Intuition Vehicle OS is a scalable, modular platform that enables automakers, commercial fleets, and defense integrators to develop, deploy, and update comprehensive vehicle software, hardware, and AI applications across all domains, from ADAS and infotainment to autonomy and digital services. The on-board SDK provides embedded real-time OS, drivers, middleware, and reference compute architecture for safety-critical and consumer‑facing functions, while the off-board platform supports cloud-based data logging, remote diagnostics, OTA vehicle updates, and digital twin management. Developers work within a unified Workbench environment featuring integrated build and testing tools, CI pipelines, and automated validation workflows. It bridges vehicle intelligence across ecosystems by combining autonomy stacks, simulation suites including vehicle dynamics and sensor simulation, and a vibrant developer toolchain.

Oxbotica Selenium
Selenium is our flagship product, a full-stack autonomy system, the product of over 500 person-years of effort. An on-vehicle suite of software which given a drive-by-wire interface and very modest compute hardware, brings full autonomy to a land-based vehicle. Selenium has the ability to transform any suitable vehicle platform into an autonomous vehicle, both at prototype volume and at scale. It is a collection of interoperable software modules that allow the vehicle to answer three key questions, where am I? What’s around me? What do I do next? Selenium spans the technological spectrum, from low-level device drivers, through calibration, 4-modal localization, mapping, perception, machine learning and planning, and its remarkable vertical integration even covers user interface and data export systems. It does not even need GPS or HD-Maps (although this can still be utilized, if available).
