Gatik Arena aims to speed up autonomous vehicle development
Autonomous trucking company Gatik unveiled Gatik Arena, its next-generation simulation platform designed to accelerate the development and validation of autonomous vehicle (AV) systems.
Arena produces photorealistic, structured, and controllable synthetic data that directly addresses the limitations of traditional real-world data collection, according to a news release.
As Gatik scales freight-only (driverless) operations in 2025, Arena will enable safe and efficient training for its autonomous systems on a range of driving scenarios – from routine tasks to rare edge cases – reducing reliance on on-road testing and accelerating the safe, cost-effective commercialization of its solution for partners including Kroger, Tyson Foods, and Loblaw.
Gatik is collaborating with NVIDIA to integrate NVIDIA Cosmos World Foundation Models, enabling the creation of ultra-high-fidelity, physics-informed digital environments for AV training and validation.
Gatik said that Arena offers support for scenarios that include adverse weather and visibility; unpredictable road users; challenging road geometry; dynamic road changes; sensor and perception failures; and dense urban interactions.
