Commercial vehicles are becoming increasingly complex as more advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), camera-based, connectivity and software-driven functions are adopted. Stoneridge has responded with the EVO ECU platform, a centralized architecture designed to simplify vehicle electronics and support the next generation of technology. The platform provides a flexible, high-performance electronic control solution that helps OEMs reduce system complexity while enabling ADAS, diagnostics and future software-driven capabilities.

Stoneridge demonstrated the EVO ECU alongside its MirrorEye Camera Monitoring System and surrounding vision and control systems this month in its Innovation Truck and Simulator at the IAA Transportation 2026 in Hannover, Germany, illustrating how the technology works together in a real driving environment.

Stellantis Pro One and UQI Robotics are to collaborate on the development of autonomous delivery solutions that address the evolving needs of logistics operators and professional customers. The initiative will initially focus on Europe, with opportunities in additional international markets to be assessed as it advances.

As part of the collaboration, the companies plan to explore the development of Box-on-Wheels, an autonomous logistics vehicle unveiled at IAA Transportation 2026 this week. The initiative is intended to evaluate how autonomous logistics, electrification, connectivity and services could come together in an integrated solution for future logistics operations. Initial validation activities are expected to begin in Europe, providing a foundation to assess operational performance, customer value and scalability.

Waymo has integrated Google’s Gemini AI assistant into the cabin of its Ojai robotaxi, alongside a redesigned three-screen interface. The system enables riders to use voice commands for cabin controls and journey information, while the autonomous driving system operates independently.

Designed specifically for ride-hailing, the Ojai features a cabin focused on passenger comfort and flexibility, with Waymo announcing the introduction of new in-car features, including the Gemini AI assistant and a redesigned user interface, aimed at enhancing the rider experience.

While the Waymo Driver manages the vehicle’s autonomous driving functions, Google’s Gemini AI assistant provides in-cabin support for passengers.

Qualcomm Technologies and BMW Group have signed an agreement under which Qualcomm will supply compute silicon for BMW’s next-generation digital cockpit and advanced driver assistance and automated driving (ADAS/AD) systems through the next decade. The agreement covers Snapdragon Digital Chassis technologies, including Snapdragon Elite automotive system-on-chips and dedicated AI accelerators, which will provide the hardware platform for future AI-enabled vehicle functions.

“The versatility and performance depth of the Snapdragon Digital Chassis has enabled our companies to continually expand the scope and ambition of what we build together,” said Nakul Duggal, EVP and group GM for automotive, industrial and embedded IoT and robotics at Qualcomm Technologies.

Lucid Group has begun the rollout of its latest over-the-air software update for the Lucid Gravity SUV in North America, Lucid UX 3.6, which introduces hands-free driving capabilities along with enhancements to navigation, charging experience and everyday usability.

Hands-free driving

Hands-Free Drive Assist is designed to make highway driving more comfortable and can assist with steering, acceleration and braking on compatible highways. It is available for vehicles equipped with DreamDrive 2 Pro.

Hands-Free Lane Change Assist can guide the vehicle into an adjacent lane upon a turn signal made by the driver, only when it is safe to do so; and Automatic Lane Change can also initiate passing maneuvers to overtake slower traffic during highway driving.

Continue reading Hands-free driving and smarter navigation added to Lucid Gravity at ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle International.

A new report on public attitudes in Europe about the use of artificial intelligence in vehicles has revealed that drivers have a high familiarity with AI and frequently use AI-enabled ADAS features but that they are reluctant to give full control of the vehicle to autonomous systems – and that drivers in the UK are the msot skeptical of full autonomy.

Chinese auto maker Xpeng commissioned independent research agency Improof Research to conduct a quantitative study of public attitudes toward artificial intelligence and physical AI across six European countries, alongside a reference sample from major Chinese cities. The survey fieldwork was carried out between May 1 and 14, 2026.

Keysight Technologies has achieved a Hybrid eCall certification to the EN 18052:2025 standard from DEKRA.

As cellular networks transition away from legacy 2G and 3G infrastructure, auto makers face mounting pressure to deliver compliant Next-Generation eCall (NG-eCall) implementations that utilize packet-switched 4G and 5G networks. Because regional network modernization moves at varying speeds, vehicles must operate reliably across mixed-network environments. According to Keysight, its certified Hybrid eCall solution addresses this challenge directly, enabling in-vehicle systems (IVS) to dynamically switch between legacy and NG-eCall systems based on real-world network availability.

Building on Keysight’s previously achieved EN 17240 validation, this new certification ensures continuous alignment with evolving international standards.

By publicly releasing internally developed technologies, Hyundai Mobis plans to enable more mobility software developers to create added value based on Hyundai Mobis’s software and ultimately establish it as an industry standard.

To this end, the company has joined the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Working Group under the Eclipse Foundation and will participate in the S-Core project to develop an SDV software platform in earnest.

The S-Core project is a global initiative launched primarily by European companies in late 2024 to standardize foundational technologies such as software platforms and middleware. It is the first open-source-based software platform development project to meet ASIL-B, the automotive industry’s functional safety standard.

Recent analysis by Tech Insights indicates that demand for automotive ethernet is increasing significantly, with vehicle ethernet ports projected to reach 3.42 million sockets by 2032. However, fragmented strategies and regional differences may slow progress in standardization and deployment.

In summary, rising demand could contribute to higher development costs for next-generation vehicle systems, such as autonomous driving, if the industry does not converge on interoperable standards.

According to TechInsights’ Automotive Ethernet – Architecture Change Drives Growth report, adoption of automotive ethernet is expanding rapidly but remains uneven across original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and regions.
