Inside APEX Software and Simulation

Every decision the vehicle makes eventually runs through software — which is why APEX Software owns everything from low-level ROS nodes to the live telemetry dashboards the rest of the team relies on during testing.

Simulation is central to how the division works. New planning or control logic is validated in simulation long before it touches the real vehicle, which keeps testing days focused on validating real-world behavior rather than debugging basic logic errors.

The telemetry stack pulls data off the vehicle in real time during tests, feeding dashboards that every division — not just Software — uses to understand what happened during a run.
