With the deep integration of artificial intelligence, software-defined architecture, and autonomous driving technologies, the global automotive industry is undergoing an unprecedented intelligent transformation. Europe, as the birthplace of the automotive industry and a hub of innovation, is actively promoting the convergence of AI and Software-Defined Vehicle technology to reshape the competitiveness of next-generation mobility. This summit focuses on key topics such as Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV), the application of large AI models in autonomous driving and smart cockpits, centralized and zonal E/E architecture, 6G and V2X collaboration, data closed-loop systems, compliance, and security,etc. It aims to establish a cross-disciplinary platform for technical and strategic exchange, fostering in-depth collaboration among OEMs, technology firms, semiconductor companies, software providers, and regulatory bodies to jointly build a smarter, safer, and more sustainable future mobility ecosystem.
