Core offering

AnteMotion sells a standards-aligned automotive simulation pipeline comprising three core software products: Maze (automated conversion of HD and SD map data into ASAM OpenDRIVE road networks), Procedural Worlds (procedural generation of Unreal Engine 5 3D environments from OpenDRIVE with USD export), and Midgard Automotive (real-time sensor-rich simulation for ADAS and AV development). The pipeline is delivered through enterprise software licensing, REST API automation, and integration with tools such as VTD, Ansys AVx, Siemens Prescan, IPG CarMaker, MathWorks RoadRunner, and dSpace ModelDesk, and is extended to motorsport (Midgard Racing) and adjacent verticals (Off-Highway Services, Defense Services).

Product overview

AnteMotion offers a unified simulation pipeline comprising three core products: Maze (OpenDRIVE generation from HD maps), Procedural Worlds (3D environment generation from OpenDRIVE for Unreal Engine 5), and Midgard Automotive (real-time sensor simulation). The three products work sequentially—Maze converts maps to OpenDRIVE, Procedural Worlds transforms OpenDRIVE into 3D worlds, and Midgard loads these environments for real-time ADAS/AV testing with ground truth sensors. This pipeline is extended to domain-specific solutions including Midgard Racing for motorsport simulation, plus Off-Highway and Defense services for specialized industry verticals.

Products and services

• Maze Maze is an OpenDRIVE generation tool that converts real-world map data (such as HERE HD Live Maps) into simulation-ready ASAM OpenDRIVE road network files in minutes, featuring automated data fusion, road marking reconstruction, traffic logic generation, and a production-ready REST API for CI/CD automation. It targets automotive OEMs, Tier-1/2 suppliers, and map providers needing standards-aligned OpenDRIVE outputs.
• Procedural Worlds Procedural Worlds transforms ASAM OpenDRIVE files into detailed, simulation-ready 3D worlds for ADAS and autonomous vehicle testing, automatically generating geo-coherent terrain, lanes, junctions, signs, bridges, tunnels, and environmental set dressing for Unreal Engine 5 with USD export. It targets engineering teams building large-scale simulation content libraries.
• Midgard Automotive Midgard Automotive is a real-time simulation framework built on Unreal Engine 5 providing sensor-rich simulation for ADAS and AV development with camera, LiDAR, and radar sensor suites, ground-truth outputs, dynamic environments, multi-channel driving simulators, and open architecture for third-party integration via ASAM OSI. It targets automotive OEMs, Tier-1/2 suppliers, and platform providers needing real-time sensor simulation.

Direct peers

• Applied Intuition: Applied Intuition provides an end-to-end ADAS/AV simulation and validation platform (catalog, scenario generation, sensor sim) sold enterprise-style to OEMs and AV programs, directly overlapping with AnteMotion's Maze/Procedural Worlds/Midgard pipeline in target customer and use case.
• MathWorks RoadRunner: RoadRunner is MathWorks' OpenDRIVE-based scenario authoring and 3D simulation environment for automated driving, serving the same automotive simulation engineer audience with overlapping OpenDRIVE/USD workflows.
• dSPACE: dSPACE is a leading provider of HIL/SIL simulation platforms and ModelDesk for ADAS and autonomous driving validation, frequently co-sold and integrated with tools like AnteMotion's Midgard.
• IPG Automotive (CarMaker): IPG CarMaker is a widely used driving simulator for ADAS/AV development that consumes OpenDRIVE maps and integrates with upstream tools like Maze, putting it in the same customer workflow as AnteMotion.
• Foretellix: Foretellix provides coverage-driven scenario generation and validation tooling for ADAS/AV, targeting the same OEMs and Tier-1s with complementary simulation-content methodologies.
• Cognata: Cognata offers a synthetic-data and full-stack ADAS/AV simulation platform using real-world mapping and procedural scene generation, directly competitive with the Procedural Worlds and Midgard use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Hexagon (MSC Software / VIRES): Hexagon owns the original OpenDRIVE/OpenSCENARIO stack via VIRES and broad CAE tooling, making it an incumbent in automotive simulation standards that overlaps with AnteMotion's standards-aligned pipeline.
• Ansys: Ansys is an established multi-physics simulation incumbent whose Ansys AVx product targets AV sensor and scenario simulation; it is both an AnteMotion integration partner and a broad competitor in automotive simulation.
• Siemens Digital Industries Software: Siemens' Simcenter Prescan is a widely deployed ADAS/AV simulation platform; it is integrated with Midgard yet competes for the same simulation-content and scenario-validation budget inside OEMs and Tier-1s.

Emerging players

• Parallel Domain: Parallel Domain focuses on procedurally generated, photorealistic 3D environments and synthetic data for AV/ADAS training, partially overlapping with Procedural Worlds and Midgard's environment-generation pipeline.
