European Automotive Intelligent Cockpit and Smart Driving

European Automotive Intelligent Cockpit and Smart Driving summit

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.
