AI Driving Autonomy: Lessons from Silicon Valley

AI Driving Autonomy: Lessons from Silicon Valley

Ahead of the SDV & AV Technology Summit 2026, keynote speaker Pankaj Kedia shares an exclusive preview of his upcoming session.

In this interview, he explores the role AI will play in shaping the in-car experience over the next decade, how OEMs can maximize the value of partnerships with Silicon Valley when building next-generation technology stacks, and what defines a successful collaboration between automakers and technology companies. Pankaj also discusses where he sees the greatest value-creation opportunities across the AI and autonomous-vehicle value chain, and how organizations can position themselves to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive landscape.

"When the automotive OEM and technology player recognize that the combined opportunity is larger than either could achieve independently, the partnership can become truly transformational."
