Automotive IQ’s industry-renowned events focusing on groundbreaking innovation & technologies that are disrupting the way vehicles have been designed for over a hundred years, come to the Bay area in August 2026.

Software-defined vehicles present the largest shift in the automotive industry and are a stepping-stone towards fully autonomous vehicles. There is a strong desire across the automotive industry to make SDV and AV a reality. OEMs are moving past the theory of SDVs and towards the future re-architecture of their systems, features, and user experiences. Creating enhanced in-vehicle software and user experience are paramount, and the most crucial factors for SDV development moving forward. Additionally, the overall cost of SDV development continues to be a major concern, with OEMs under increasing pressure to reduce costs while ensuring vehicles are kept up-to-date, over-the-air updates are presenting new business opportunities, with additional revenue streams from advanced features and functionalities.

Automotive IQ's SDV & AV Technology Summit will focus on two of the biggest areas of opportunity and innovation. The conference agenda and speaker line-up will be announced early 2026. Watch this space as details are released.
