As AI continues to expand beyond the digital world into real-world applications, AAVI recently sat down with AEye to discuss the growing role of perception in the era of physical AI, in an exclusive interview first published in the April 2026 issue

Please describe your company.
At AEye, our focus is simple – we give machines sight. Just as systems like ChatGPT unlocked the value of digital intelligence, physical AI depends on the ability to perceive and understand the real world. We’re building the technology that enables that – delivering ‘vision’ optimized for machines.

AAVI recently caught up with Xavier Banqué, strategic marketing manager at Trimble, to talk about the key trends driving location technologies, in a feature first published in the April 2026 issue.

Please can you introduce yourself to our readers?
Originally educated as a telecommunications engineer, I have a dual professional profile – covering both technical and business – resulting from a 20-year career that was focused on technical positions during the first decade before I transitioned to become a business strategist in the last 10 years, when I spearheaded a GNSS software company [Rokubun] as CEO and founder.

As vehicle development becomes increasingly integrated across propulsion, software, testing and design, a new industry event focused on chassis and powertrain engineering will launch this October as part of Vehicle Tech Week North America 2026.

The Advanced Chassis & Powertrain Showcase will debut alongside three established exhibitions within a newly unified event framework designed to reflect how modern vehicles are engineered today.

Taking place October 27-29, 2026, at the Vibe Credit Union Showplace in Novi, Michigan, Vehicle Tech Week North America will bring together four co-located exhibitions covering the full vehicle development lifecycle:

• Intelligent Vehicle Expo (previously known as Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo)
• Advanced Chassis & Powertrain Showcase (new launch)
• Automotive Design & In-Cabin Expo (previously known as Automotive Interiors Expo)
• Automotive Testing Expo (the world’s largest and most established event for automotive testing, validation and quality engineering)

The event is expected to attract thousands of OEM engineers, Tier 1 suppliers and technology leaders, creating a single destination for cross-functional collaboration and technical insight.

Beamr will be exhibiting at this year’s Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo (June 23-25, 2026, Stuttgart, Germany), and AAVI recently asked the company about what ML-safe compression requires across the AV pipeline, in an exclusive feature first published in the April 2026 issue, which you can read below:

Across the autonomous vehicle industry, compression is no longer optional. Fleets produce vast volumes of real-world footage, while synthetic data from world foundation models often exceeds that volume. Datasets are growing faster than ML pipelines can absorb, creating compounding pressure on storage, data transfer, pipeline throughput and development timelines.

WeRide is expanding its collaboration with Lenovo to accelerate the large‑scale commercialization of Level 4 autonomous driving worldwide. Starting in 2026, the two companies expect to jointly deploy 200,000 autonomous vehicles, including robotaxis, globally over the next five years, marking one of the industry’s most ambitious efforts to scale autonomous mobility.

The collaboration was announced during Auto China 2026. It will accelerate the development of a global autonomous driving ecosystem, integrating critical elements across technology, computing infrastructure and supply chain to enhance industry-wide cooperation and efficiency. By combining their respective strengths, the two companies will connect key capabilities from cloud to vehicle, accelerating the deployment of physical AI in real-world mobility scenarios.
