Although manufacturers undertake extensive technical evaluations, there is a lack of objective assessments from customers to ensure that their needs and expectations are incorporated into ADAS development. This information gap led e-mobility market research firm Uscale to conduct a large-scale study of user perspectives on ADAS.

At this year’s Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo Conference in Stuttgart, Uscale managing director Axel Sprenger will highlight key findings from the study, including usage patterns, satisfaction and trust, differences between vehicle segments and brands, and recommendations for developers.

AAVI asked Sprenger to give us a taste of what to expect during his presentation on June 25.

Everyone can show promising results in simulation, but regulators and cities are asking: does it actually work on public roads? Vehicle Tech Week sat down with Mircea Gradu ahead of his presentation on Day 2 of Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo Europe 2026 (June 23-25) on safe autonomous deployment to explore how a groundbreaking CAV AI research platform is solving critical industry, safety and infrastructure challenges, and why companies can’t afford to miss his presentation if they want to deploy intelligent vehicles

What’s one thing happening in the industry now that people can’t afford to ignore?

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.

This year’s Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo (June 23-25, 2026, Stuttgart, Germany) once again includes a three-day conference (rates apply), with over 80 expert speakers from the companies and organizations at the forefront of ADAS and automated driving development. AAVI has picked out some of the presentations it is most looking forward to in this year’s program (see the website for the latest details).

Enhancing the credibility of XIL approaches for automated driving systems using digital twins

Physical testing efforts for automated driving systems are increasing due to higher automation levels and more rigorous approval requirements. Consequently, front-loading the development process through virtual testing has become an increasingly important task for engineers.

The organizers of Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo Europe 2026, which will take place June 23-25 at the Messe Stuttgart in Germany, are calling for key speakers from all leading OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers, suppliers and research institutions to submit presentations or panel proposals for potential inclusion at Autonomous Vehicle Technology Conference, which will run alongside the show.

Presentations should offer insights into ADAS, autonomy, the software-defined vehicle, artificial intelligence, simulation and validation, systems architecture and fleet deployment, whether the perspective is about breakthroughs, challenges or areas where the industry needs to align more closely.

Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo will take place as part of Vehicle Technology Week Europe, which brings together the AVT show with Automotive Interiors Expo and Automotive Testing Expo under one platform, to reduce fragmentation and enable clearer alignment on the next wave of vehicle innovation.
