Applied Intuition lands $6B valuation for AI-powered autonomous vehicle software


A super-powered round led by Lux Capital, Elad Gil, and backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Mary Meeker, and F1 champ Nico Rosberg.

Autonomous vehicle software company Applied Intuition has raised $250 million in a round that values the startup at $6 billion, as it pushes to bring more artificial intelligence to the automotive, defense, construction and agriculture sectors. Applied Intuition appears to have nailed a particular sweet spot for VCs who are on the hunt for startups with AI products that cross into large industries with big budgets — defense being one hot area — with seemingly endless opportunities. The Series E round was led by Lux Capital’s Bilal Zuberi, investor Elad Gil, and Porsche Investments Management, the sports car maker’s independent venture arm.
