European Automotive Intelligent Cockpit and Smart Driving Summit 2026

Exploring the future path and technological implementation of the intelligent cockpit and smart driving. Summit Background The intelligent cockpit is no longer just a product feature - in Europe, it is becoming a regulatory and competitive battleground. Euro NCAP's 2026 Driver Engagement protocols are reshaping how OEMs define driver monitoring and HMI. The EU AI Act is introducing new governance requirements for in-vehicle AI systems. And with Mercedes-Benz's DRIVE PILOT already operating at Level 3 on German highways, the boundary between cockpit design and smart driving has permanently shifted. This summit brings together decision-makers from across the automotive value chain - OEMs, Tier 1/2 suppliers, semiconductor companies, software platforms and AI specialists - to tackle the questions that matter most: How do you build AI cockpits that survive cost, safety and compliance filters? What does trustworthy L2+/L3 HMI actually look like in production? And where does Europe go from here? Event Date/ Location / Organizer November 17-18 / Stuttgart, Germany / ECV International The summit will be held in-person and online.
