Autonomous driving software developer Apex.AI has announced the availability of Apex.OS 1.0 for its customers and partners.

Apex.OS is based on open-source ROS 2. According to Apex.AI, ROS is the “de facto standard” for robotics. With Apex.OS, that standard is now extending to the autonomous driving industry, which gives companies a head start on bringing safety to the autonomous driving software layer, ultimately allowing these companies to “focus their business on their own key differentiators, and much faster time to market,” Apex.AI says. 

“Our core expertise is to apply advanced C++ and modern software architecture to develop a software framework for real-time, deterministic robotic and autonomous system development,” explains Apex.AI CTO and co-founder Dejan Pangercic.

“Since our founding, we have maintained a singular focus on releasing a high-quality product to our customers.”

Apex.AI says that customers across the world, including in North America, Europe and Japan, are already using the Apex.OS software framework to equip their applications with state-of-the-art algorithms and artificial intelligence.
