Simulation and artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing the future of autonomous mobility. Our Co-Founder and CEO, Stephen Lernout, will be speaking at the ASCS e.V. - Automotive Solution Center for Simulation #SimxMobility Conference in Heilbronn on January 28 to share insights into the groundbreaking work we are undertaking in this field. At Deontic, we have developed an innovative approach that combines #GenerativeAI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) with ASAM e.V. #OpenX standards. This integration enables advanced simulations and facilitates the exploration of edge cases by leveraging natural language found in laws, standards, and regulatory frameworks. Our technology is pivotal in enhancing the validation processes for autonomous operations, providing a robust framework for testing and deployment. Moreover, this approach unlocks significant opportunities for expanding Virtual Driver solutions into new markets—without dependence on real-world data. We invite you to join us at the conference to learn more and connect with our team. Check out the program and fellow speakers here: https://lnkd.in/eEdegzzn Alexander F.

About us
Deontic, a Belgium-based Generative AI startup, is revolutionizing autonomous engineering software to meet the growing and evolving validation demands for self-driving technologies like robotaxis and automated trucks. Their solutions aim to bring these vehicles to market faster and safer. Designing an Operational Design Domain (ODD) is a safety-critical process that traditionally involves extensive manual effort. Deontic has trained Large Language Models (LLMs) on scenario description languages such as OpenDRIVE and OpenSCENARIO, enabling engineers to create complex scenarios and edge cases using simple natural language input. By integrating knowledge from standards, regulations, and laws into autonomous driving scenarios, Deontic streamlines development, enhances stakeholder collaboration, and accelerates the deployment of safer autonomous vehicles through continuous verification and validation processes.

✨ Fastlane hits double digits! ✨ For the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most impressive mobility and energy startups through this commercialization program. Seeing them grow and succeed has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. Launching this 10th batch 2 weeks ago was a special moment—not just because of the incredible quality of the startups (see more about them below), but also because of the amazing team I get to work with every day. Alon Eliav Miron Kohanan Nir Dashti Romy Ninary Tal Cohen Gilad Gans Here’s to the people who push the boundaries and help create a better future: 🏎️ 💥 Arbell Energy Ltd. | Lior Bar-Shalom | Matan Arbell dataspan.ai | Ofer Lavi Deontic | Stephen Lernout Monogoto | Itamar Kunik NUGEN | Eyal Shalom Vocai | Shai Gepshtein, Ph.D Whilx Technologies | Roi Kantor
There’s no better way to bring 2024 to a close than with a FastLane batch reveal! With great excitement, we kicked off Fastlane X, the 10th batch of our flagship commercialization program. For the first time all the founders in this batch got to meet one another and the Drive TLV team. After an intensive search and rigorous selection process for the tech that will bring a safe, smart, and sustainable future of mobility, Fastlane X is officially underway. This talented and diverse batch spans across the edges of the mobility sector, and we can confidently say that we found a talented group of entrepreneurs with astonishing technology.

Join Deontic at the ASAM Annual Conference in Munich this week! Our founders, Yves Peirsman and Stephen Lernout, will showcase how #GenerativeAI and #LLMs revolutionize Requirements Writing and Advanced Scenario Generation in #AutonomousEngineering. Traditional functional and regulatory requirements often exist as unstructured text, posing challenges for deriving test cases manually. With Deontic’s technology, engineers can seamlessly convert natural language descriptions into structured formats compliant with the ASAM e.V. #OpenSCENARIO and #OpenDRIVE standards. This enables efficient simulation of scenarios in platforms such as esmini, CARLA, Siemens Digital Industries Software Prescan, or IPG Automotive Carmaker, supporting comprehensive and cost-effective validation of autonomous driving systems. Streamline your development process by reducing reliance on physical prototyping and testing. Stop by our booth or schedule a meeting with us to explore how we can accelerate your engineering goals. See you there 🛸

📢 On December 5th our CEO Stephen Lernout and and CTO Yves Peirsman will be at ASAM e.V.'s International Conference in Munich to talk about Deontic's efforts to convert natural language to driving scenarios. 🚗 Driving scenarios are essential in the development of cars. They help car makers simulate the behavior of their vehicles, to make sure they can be put on the roads safely. 🤖 Creating these scenarios, however, is a labor-intensive task. And while current Large Language Models can help coders write Python or Java, even GPT-4o struggles when it comes to creating complex scenarios. 🦾 However, with a number of modifications to the processing pipeline, we have found that it becomes possible to generate simulation scenarios that are syntactically accurate and faithful to the input. 💻 At the ASAM International Conference, we'll give participants exclusive insights into our technology and demonstrate its current capabilities. ➡️ Sounds interesting?
