Summit Background
As the automotive industry accelerates toward a software-defined vehicle (SDV) future the evolution of E/E architecture has become the backbone for enabling centralized computing intelligent driving and seamless over-the-air services. OEMs and Tier 1/2 suppliers now face mounting pressure to integrate powerful hardware platforms with flexible scalable software stacks-all while balancing safety performance and cost-efficiency.
At the same time the explosive advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) particularly breakthroughs in large models for perception decision-making and generative tasks is reshaping E/E architecture design paradigms with unprecedented force. AI is not only key to realizing high-level autonomous driving but is also driving a fundamental shift from distributed to centralized and zonal architectures accelerating the maturation of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Zonal Control.
This summit centered on the theme "E/E Architecture Innovation in the Age of AI and SDV" will bring together leading global OEMs Tier 1 suppliers technology giants and academic pioneers to explore how next-generation E/E architecture is shaping the foundation of intelligent vehicles; and discuss how AI acts as a central driving force guiding the next revolution in E/E architecture across computing communication power distribution and hardware-software integration—laying a solid foundation for building more efficient intelligent and secure future vehicles.
