This September, Automotive IQ brings two tightly connected worlds together; software-defined vehicle experts and autonomy trailblazers, at The SDV & AV Technology Summit.

The industry has reached consensus that both software-defined vehicles and autonomous vehicles are very tightly connected - the underlying architecture of SDVs is a key enabler for autonomous vehicles, with autonomous technology being a major selling point for SDV. Partnerships between key players is accelerating progress in the European SDV & AV market at an unprecedented pace. Stellantis has joint forces with Bolt to deploy autonomous vehicles in Europe. Meanwhile, Rivian and Volkswagens joint venture has successfully completed testing of SDVs in Europe, validating the performance and functionality of their electronics and software systems. Furthermore, artificial intelligence is increasingly merging these segments together.

While autonomous driving continues to evolve, key questions remain across the automotive industry. What roadblocks are preventing companies from achieving L2+++ partial autonomy? What steps can be taken to make autonomous technology a reality? And will fully safe, public deployment of autonomous vehicles ever be achieved?

At the same time, SDVs are ready for commercialisation, but what do real-world OEM execution plans to bring SDVs to market look like? What steps are required to enable, validate, and advance features within SDV architectures? And as cost reduction remains a priority, how can companies effectively monetise software features to maximise revenue?

Cross-pollinating insight from both SDV and AV experts, The SDV and AV Technology Summit Europe will address all these questions among others. Automotive IQ’s carefully curated agenda will feature expert led technical and strategic insight to equip you with knowledge needed to differentiate yourselves from the competition, to not only survive, but excel in what is a fiercely competitive, fast-moving industry.

If you want to stay at the forefront of innovation and learn from technical experts, innovators, and decision-makers across Europe’s automotive and technology sectors, make sure you join us in Germany, this September.
